The Science Behind It
Clear Gear's formula is built from EPA-registered active ingredients — each one chosen for a specific reason.
Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride
-Punctures the outer membrane of bacteria and viruses, killing them on contact.
Didecyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride
-Broadens the kill spectrum to include fungi, mold, and harder-to-kill pathogens like MRSA.
Octyl Decyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride
-Penetrates biofilm — the protective layer bacteria form on gear surfaces after repeated use.
Dioctyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride
-Provides residual protection on surfaces after the spray dries.
Natural Essential Oils
-Eliminate odor at the source and leave gear smelling fresh — no artificial fragrance.
Water-Based Formula (99.9%)
-Non-toxic, leaves no residue, safe on foam, fabric, plastic, and metal surfaces.
Is Your Gear Making You Sick?
Staphylococcus aureus (Staph)
-Causes skin infections and abscesses that can progress to life-threatening bloodstream infections. Spreads through shared helmets, pads, and gym equipment.
MRSA — Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
-An antibiotic-resistant form of staph responsible for thousands of athlete hospitalizations every year. Highly contagious in locker rooms and training facilities.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 & Type 2
-Spreads through direct contact with infected surfaces. Extremely common in wrestling, rugby, and contact sports — sometimes called “mat herpes.”
Influenza Virus (Flu)
-Survives on hard surfaces for up to 24 hours. Spreads rapidly through shared equipment and locker room surfaces.
Rotavirus
-Causes severe gastrointestinal illness. Particularly dangerous for youth athletes in shared training environments.
Salmonella enterica
-Lives on equipment surfaces in locker rooms and training facilities. Often overlooked as a sports-related risk.

EPA Registered & Independently Verified
Clear Gear is an EPA-registered disinfectant — meaning it has been independently tested and verified to kill 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. EPA registration is required for any product making pathogen kill claims. It is the same standard used for hospital-grade disinfectants, first responder facilities, and professional sports venues.
