Born in a Hockey Locker Room. Built to Protect Every Athlete.

The story behind America's most trusted sports disinfectant.

In 2011, Steve Tracanna contracted a staph infection from his hockey equipment. What started as a sore on his elbow turned septic within days. He lost 16 pounds, racked up over $85,000 in medical bills, and nearly lost his arm. His doctors traced it directly back to bacteria living in his gear.

While recovering, Steve partnered with co-founder Gary Tamelligan to develop a formula that actually solved the problem — not a deodorant spray, not a bleach solution. Clear Gear kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact using natural essential oils. No harsh chemicals. No residue. Safe on every surface athletes touch.

Today, Clear Gear is trusted by NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL teams, used in facilities across the country, and has protected over 250,000 athletes from the infections that almost ended Steve’s career.
