Now Batting ‘Clean Up’ For The Red Sox….

Clorox Professional is teaming up with the Boston Red Sox to help keep Fenway Park, the home of the MLB team since 1912, clean and its players healthy and on the field. The Sox incorporated the Clorox Total 360 System into its current cleaning and disinfecting protocols for the 2018 season to optimize their efforts to prevent the spread of illness-causing germs among their players and staff, and are now using the system to disinfect their clubhouse, visitors' clubhouse, training rooms, weight rooms and medical areas. 

The Clorox Total 360System combines proven electrostatic technology with Clorox products to more quickly and effectively sanitize and disinfect a wide range of high-touch surfaces, including those found in athletic facilities like Fenway Park. In addition to keeping athletes in peak physical shape, it is equally important for them not to get sick from illnesses like influenza, norovirus, staph or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that can prevent them from playing.

In fact, staph and MRSA infections are most commonly reported among athletes participating in contact sports with cases having been identified among athletes at high school, college and professional levels. Moreover, a study among collegiate athletes found that sports-related skin infections spread by contact cause up to 15% of athlete time-loss injuries. Since the results of illness within a sports team can be far-reaching and impact game and even season performance, proper cleaning and disinfection is an imperative first line of defense in the fight to keep athletes healthy, said Clorox.

“We considered other electrostatic sprayers, foggers, and misters, but we selected the revolutionary Clorox Total 360 System  because of its cutting-edge technology and ease of use to keep our facility and our clubhouse clean,” said Jon Lister, senior director of facilities management for the Boston Red Sox. “The system is used by the facilities team on a daily basis in addition to their daily manual cleaning and disinfecting protocol. What used to take our team hours now only takes them minutes.”
