It says it's best to be used for front loader washing machines.
But I have one of those "Efficient Energy" top loader washing machines that
loads from the top, but it doesn't have that "fan" thing in the center. It's just
empty like a front loader and it spins. Would that work the same as a front loader?
Safe to put my gear in there? I was thinking of just testing with my elbow pads first...

I googled up some methods of getting rid of the smell in hockey gear,
and found a bunch of methods. But I'm not really convinced if they will
work in the long run, or if they are just temporary ways to mask out the smell
for a game or two.
I came across this site:
http://www.freshgear.com/ozone_fresh...view_gear.html
Using Ozone to clean the gear.
And the closest place with this service (according to the site) is the
Cyclone Taylor in Surrey.
Have anyone tried using this before?
Or any other cleaning services?
Feel free to share your experiences and what places you have cleaned your gear at, and how much it cost.
I only plan on getting it "professionally" done cause
I don't want to bother doing some in-house method that doesn't really
deep clean the bacteria out.
And is it even worth it to pay for cleaning service?
