Performance gear, textile technology, and cleaning and protecting systems and methods

A method comprising:

• placing at least one of the performance textiles, the sports gear, and the laundry into a water-based washing machine;
• introducing a washing agent during the wash cycle, the washing agent being configured to remove unwanted matter from at least one of the high performance textiles, the sports gear, and the laundry, the washing agent comprising at least one chelator, a plurality of nonionic/cationic surfactants, at least one organosilane antimicrobial and a plurality of enzymes;
• introducing a protective agent during the rinse cycle, the protective agent being configured to create a bonded barrier of protection against odors generated by at least one of bacteria, mold, and mildew, the protective agent comprising and at least one antistatic agent and at least one organosilane antimicrobial;
• and
• drying the at least one of the high performance textiles, the sports gear, and the laundry, creating the bonded barrier of protection against odors generated by at least one of bacteria, mold, and mildew comprising the at least one organosilane antimicrobial.

A method comprising:

• introducing a washing agent into hand washing water, the washing agent being configured to remove unwanted matter from at least one of the high performance textiles, the sports gear, and the laundry, the washing agent comprising at least one citric acid solution, at least one chelator, a plurality of nonionic/cationic surfactants, and at least one biocide;
• washing the at least one of the high performance textiles, the sports gear, and the laundry, in the hand washing water and washing agent;
• introducing a protective agent into hand wash rinsing water, the protective agent being configured to create a bonded barrier of protection against odors generated by at least one of bacteria, mold, and mildew, the protective agent comprising at least one nonionic/cationic surfactant, at least one antistatic agent, at least one biocide, and at least one organosilane antimicrobial;
• rinsing the at least one of the high performance textiles, the sports gear, and the laundry in the hand wash rinsing water, the protective agent to provide the bonded barrier of protection against odors generated by at least one of bacteria, mold, and mildew;
• and
• drying the at least one of the high performance textiles, the sports gear, and the laundry, creating the bonded barrier of protection against odors generated by at least one of bacteria, mold, and mildew comprising the at least one organosilane antimicrobial.
