Wait 60 seconds for the solution to kill odour-causing bacteria and fungi, wipe away excess moisture, and leave to air dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour gloves have been to every session you have. They've never once been washed properly, because they can't be. Gear Guard is built for exactly that problem: the kit that goes through everything and fits in no washing machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGear Guard is a targeted HOCl spray (hypochlorous acid at 200ppm) in a 100ml fine-mist bottle, manufactured in the UK. It is a professional-grade surface biocide independently tested to the standards that matter: \u003cstrong\u003eBS EN 13727\u003c\/strong\u003e (bactericidal), \u003cstrong\u003eBS EN 1650\u003c\/strong\u003e (fungicidal) and \u003cstrong\u003eBS EN 13697\u003c\/strong\u003e (hard surfaces).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a strict one-minute contact time, it tackles the bacteria and fungi behind gear odour. This is why your kit smells the way it does, and why spraying fragrance at it never worked. No fragrance, no residue, dries clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA little does a lot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a targeted hygiene spray, not a floor cleaner, and the maths reflects it. A fine mist and a 60-second wait is the whole job. A single boxing glove takes a few sprays, not a soaking. That yields \u003cstrong\u003ehundreds of targeted sprays per bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean your gloves after every session, your pads on club nights, and your kit bag once a week. The bottle keeps going for months. At 100ml, it matches its stablemate Full Guard exactly: \u003cstrong\u003ecabin-bag legal\u003c\/strong\u003e, so your gear gets the same treatment at an away competition as it does at home.
