How does one clean baseball helmets and catchers equipment?

I have agreed to coach my sons' little league (9-10 y/o) baseball team and the county provided me with several helmets and catchers equipment (Chest Protector, shin guards, face mask/helmet and chin guard). Unfortunately, they are all very dirty and dusty and I wanted to clean them before I have our first practice tomorrow (I do not need to clean the shin guards as they are brand new). As far as the helmets go, they are the standard plastic with porous foam padding. I was thinking that I could just spray those off with a hose and let them dry and they should be okay - would that actually work? I am unsure about the chest protector - maybe in the washing machine? I would read the manufacturers tag on cleaning instructions, but there are not any on there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

At the end of each season I clean our helmets and shin guards with a rag and Orange Clean (or some other similar cleaner) and spray the inside with Lysol to kill germs. I hang the Chest protectors on the clothesline and clean them with a pressure washer (low setting) with a mixture of Laundry detergent and febreeze.

Since you have practice happening so soon, I wouldn't recommend getting your equipment soaked so for now just wipe them down with a rag and spray some kind of disinfectant spray to kill any bacteria.
