Craigslist if you dont mind wearing used gear. Most of a players gear can be put in a front load washing machine, so just give the gear a good wash, or get a spray bottle of oxy clean and bring in the shower. spray the gear with HOT water from the shower until the water goes clear, then spray the oxy clean and let it sit for 10 minutes. After that rinse it off again with hot water until the water goes clear.
Rinse and repeat until satisfied!
