Febreze can actually make your stuff smell worse
It's true. made my stuf much worse.
Febreze can actually make your stuff smell worse
Febreze actually works pretty well.
I've washed shoulder pads and elbow pads in the wash on gentle, it didn't hurt them.
Like mentioned before, gloves! Mine are rank, I'd like to hear of anything that works for them.
I have actually used the dishwasher for my son's gear in the past and it has worked fine. However the best tool I have is dryer sheets tucked into his bag which helps keep the smell down.Has anyone ever tried using their dishwasher?
My gloves are discusting! I even have a hard time with the stench at times.
My wife came up with a pretty good system for masking this stink.
1. 10% pinesol, 10% rubbing alcahol 80% water in a spray bottle, spay liberaly then let air dry. When dry add fabric sofener sheets.
I mentioned this to a friend of mine who is a professional costumer, asking how they keep stuff from stinking since it can't be washed in between every performance. Her answer: vodka. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 solution of water and vodka and spray away.
The booze smell disappears along with the gym bag smell.
The stuff that is cheapest and tastes like rubbing alcohol - easily found at liquor stores near colleges and universities!
hahah oh! I'm quite familiar with the kind. I should give it a shot. er, try.
Gloves were a little different. Instead of detergent I mixed some Murphy's Oil Soap into the water -- I read on a website that it's a better choice for keeping the leather from drying out. I hung everything up to drip dry and like MikeD says it took a few days, but since I was only playing once a week it I had plenty of time.
I fill my bath tub with water and bleach and soak all my gear (except skates) for 5-10 minutes. then air dry in the sun
