Our founder contracted bacterial meningitus when he was a child. Battling meningitis septicaemi he was placed in a medically induced coma and when he woke up, had to learn to walk again. he was fortunate enough to make a full recovery.

Still to this day he doesn't know where he caught it, but a research article caught his eye about the dangers of gym bags, citing that the majority of gym bags contain harmful bacteria, and nearly all footwear has excrement on it. Like most people, he used to just chuck his sweaty kit and muddy trainers into his gym bag and not think twice. I guess you could say that was his lightbulb moment. He turned that haunting experience into motivation, to clean up gym bags.

This inspired him to create “Dirty Kit” to help prevent the spread of bacteria.
