Clean Kit. Ready for the Next Fixture.

Yes. Complete squad loads are what this service is built for — match strips, change kit, training wear, goalkeeper kit, bibs and staff kit. Tell us your squad size and approximate garment count when you enquire and we will quote against it.

Bag the kit by squad, team or age group and label each bag clearly with the club name and the group. If individual garments carry player names or numbers, leave them as they are — we sort against them. Every team booking is given a reference at check-in, recorded against your order and written on your bags, and we agree with you at quotation how squads are kept apart through the process.

We identify them at check-in and agree the approach with you before we start. Heat-applied names, numbers and sponsor transfers can lift or crack in a hot domestic cycle, so we treat them as a known risk area. We cannot restore printing that is already lifting, cracking or peeling, and cleaning can make existing damage more obvious — which is why we point out anything that already looks fragile while you are with us.

Turnaround is agreed in your quote, because it depends on the size of the load, the condition it arrives in and our capacity that week. We do not publish a fixed team turnaround, and we would rather tell you honestly what is achievable than promise a date we cannot hold. Priority turnaround may be possible — ask us, subject to capacity.

Regular in-season arrangements are agreed in writing in advance. Tell us your fixture pattern, the volumes involved and when you need the kit back, and we will build a schedule into your quote. We do not publish a team frequency or turnaround; both are subject to inspection, capacity and quotation.

Yes. Heavy mud and grass are normal for winter pitches and we plan for them. We cannot guarantee that every mark will come out — how long soiling has been left in, and what the fabric is, both make a difference — but ground-in pitch soiling is exactly what the process is set up for.

Yes. Bibs, position markers, training tops, base layers and equipment covers can all be included, either as part of a team load or as their own booking.

Team work is quoted individually rather than sold against a fixed minimum. When you enquire, tell us the squad size and garment count and we will tell you what is workable — subject to inspection, capacity and quotation.

Team pricing is quoted, not listed. It depends on the number of garments, the garment types, the condition the kit arrives in, whether sanitising is added and how often you need the service. You get the price in writing before anything is agreed, and sending an enquiry does not commit you to anything.

To The Gear Spa, Unit 5 Tekori Court, Louth, LN11 0WA. Kit is brought in person — please do not post or courier it to us. We confirm your drop-off time with you by email once your quote is accepted.

The person who booked it, or someone that person has authorised in writing beforehand. For clubs, tell us at drop-off who is allowed to collect and we record it against the booking. We ask whoever collects to quote the order or batch reference.

We record it at check-in, with you there, before anything goes into the process. That record is what we compare against at collection. If we think an item is unsuitable or unsafe to clean, we will say so and set it aside rather than risk it. Cleaning can make existing damage more visible, so it is always better that we both see it at the start.
