I have agreed to coach my sons' little league (9-10 y/o) baseball team and the county provided me with several helmets and catchers equipment (Chest protector, shin guards, face mask/helmet and chin guard). Unfortunately, they are all very dirty and dusty and I wanted to clean them before I have our first practice tomorrow (I do not need to clean the shin guards as they are brand new). As far as the helmets go, they are the standard plastic with porous foam padding. I was thinking that I could just spray those off with a hose and let them dry and they should be okay - would that actually work? I am unsure about the chest protector - maybe in the washing machine? I would read the manufacturers tag on cleaning instructions, but there are not any on there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Take it all to your local car wash. Then set them out in the sun and let them dry out. They will be fine. If they are really dirty try puttings some laundry soap on them and a scrub brush then spray them off.
Back when i played softball this is how i kept my stuff clean and they was always fine.
