The One, Two Punch - Preventing Skin Diseases In Athletes

School sports are great for exercise. Athletic equipment, mats, pads, balls, and other sports gear are necessary to play the game. Don't let these be the source to spread disease. Educational facilities can step up the game and protect students with a one, two punch. Clean with EnvirOx and disinfect with the Anthem One cube.

Studies have found that 25% of kids who participate in close personal contact sports (i.e. wrestling, rugby etc.) contract skin diseases such as Furunculosis. The National Institute of Health tells us that the rate for contracting Tinea (ringworm) is and even wider range. High school wrestlers are 24%-77% likely to contract tinea or staph infections. These athletes can contract these diseases from mats, uniforms, or headgear. It is important to protect the health of these students and the people around them.

Custodians and coaches are the first line of defense to protect students from the spread of disease. It is important to note: You cannot disinfect without first cleaning the surface of dirt. Once a soiled surface is clean, you can only then disinfect. Players and coaches can benefit from cleaning sports gear and athletic equipment with EnvirOx and disinfecting with the Anthem One Cube. Let's talk about why these products deliver a knock out performance.

EnvirOx has amazing cleaning power. This non hazardous cleaner has the ability to deeply clean and remove residue without leaving a residue. EnvirOx is also safer for the environment, because it’s a natural and less abrasive chemical. Abrasive chemical cleaners are bad for your environment and bad for skin. No one wants to trade skin infection for a chemical burn, Parents can rest easy knowing their high school wrestler’s skin is protected. Less abrasive also means mats will not deteriorate over many cleanings. Add EnvirOx to your cleaning strategy. The next step is disinfecting.

Anthem One Cube is the best and fastest way to disinfect a surface. The unit comes with a 30 ft cord and UV-C technology that kills bacteria and viruses in 30 seconds you can get back on the mat without any worries in no time.
