Testimonials
At the San Francisco 49ers, we know that building a championship team requires bringing the best resources to the game every single day – on and off the field. And that’s why we use SilvaClean.
, San Francisco 49ers General Manager
In October of 2015, my career was ended to a life-threatening battle with MRSA. I believe that a novel antimicrobial product like SilvaClean will help prevent any current NFL players from experiencing even a fraction of what I had to endure.
, Former Professional Football Player
We evaluated the SilvaClean germ-killing technology in an effort to provide the cleanest environment possible for our guys, both on and off the field. We are very pleased with how this technology not only provides cleaner apparel/gear, but also impacts a cleaner locker room.

Reviewing the Risk
-
When Athletes Share Infections – The New York Times: “The close contact and casual equipment give and take that are often components of team bonding can also be a breeding ground for infection.”
-
MRSA in Sports: Long-Standing, Simple to Prevent, Still Happening – National Geographic: “But in fact, some MRSA cases are very predictable. They are more likely to occur in what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention call the “5 C’s“: places where there is crowding, skin-to-skin contact, compromised skin from cuts or abrasions, contaminated items and surfaces, and lack of cleanliness. Add all those together, and you have a pretty good description of a football field, and a locker room after a game.“
-
The Never-Ending Battle Against Sport’s Hidden Foe – The New York Times: “The disease has disabled some athletes, cutting short their careers, and the most severe cases have been fatal.”
