The development of ESPRO® SPORTS CLEANER was the result of a merging of two passions of founding managing partner Steve Dean. While serving as National Sales Manager of a chemical manufacturer of cleaners and protectants, Steve was constantly seeking cutting-edge technology to produce effective, yet environmentally friendly formulas for consumers’ home and vehicle cleaning needs. With a background in collegiate athletics, Steve also found time to coach high school football and other youth sports. It became very apparent to Steve that there was a tremendous need for a safe, yet highly effective “sports cleaner” to tackle the tough stains and odors associated with athletic competition. Steve says “I have stood in a lot of huddles over the years and, believe me, the dirty uniforms and terrible odors are almost unbearable.”

Thus, we challenged our chemists to develop a formula that would remove the toughest stains, like grass, dirt, mud, red clay, blood, sweat stains, juice and “you name it”. We also asked them to include odor-fighting agents to eliminate the really bad odors and smells that strenuous activity and tough competition produces. And we demanded one more thing, “make it safe to use and environmentally friendly!” So, ESPRO® SPORTS CLEANER Stain Remover with Odor-Guard was born.

In May of 2008, we formed Environmental Sports Products, LLC to manufacture and distribute ESPRO® SPORTS CLEANER and to develop other related products for the sports industry. Our management team and board of directors are a very diverse group of experienced business people and former athletes and coaches who have a shared vision to make ESP the leader in providing world class cleaners and sports hygiene products for athletes at all stages of competition. Thus far, moms, coaches and equipment managers all over America are singing its’ praises. Check out the testimonial page to see just how people feel about this great new product.
