Runners, wraps, and gloves stink like shieet!

[maDKient]

Anybody have solutions to de-stinking my running shoes, handwraps, and 10oz gloves?

The normal wash with detergent just doesn't cut it.

Anybody have any tricks to share?

You wash you're gloves in the washer with detergent?

fill a bowl with water, dump some bleach in it, and soak your wraps. Works for me.

Hand wash for the gloves and shoes. Wraps get chucked into the washer.

I soak my wraps in water and washing powder overnight. Come out smelling nice and dandy in the morning.

Wraps go in a delicates bag, cold/cold wash with a little oxyclean - line dry.

Gloves get pantyhose filled with cedar chips after each use. I febreze the fabric/chips as well

For shoes - use febreze sport with sweat-tech (same as above)

if you want your gloves to smell better i usually stick dryer sheets inside them

One thing I did that helped tremendously was putting fabric softeners in my gloves while letting them air out. Shoes could probably do this too.

For wraps, I just made sure the gloves didnt smell, let the wraps air out, and wash them regularly.

I hear putting gloves in a plastic bag and putting it in the freezer works.

Vinegar before the wash? That'll kill bacteria.
