    god damn - hockey gear reeks.. wtf

    gloves, skates, helmet starting to smell like something died in them. Wiping them out , airing them out, spraying fabreeze helps, but when they get sweaty again the smell is back.

    Obvoiusly I cant throw this stuff in the washer, and its too expensive to just throw it away.

    I know someone here plays hockey and knows what I'm dealing with, how do you clean your gear?

    Keep a sheet of fabric softener in each one while you air them out.

    Edit: Bounce or Fleecy sheets - I think it's called fabric softener (sorry just tired)

      Go to your local rink and ask if anyone there has a dry cleaning service. Usually they will know someone that will take your gear and get it all dry cleaned for you.

      They offer this service at the rink I play at.

            1) try hanging it next to your furnace, it dries it out much faster.
            2) you can cover it down with baby powder (I'm not a fan of this one though)
            3) another option is to keep dryer sheets in your hockey bags

            or... try a google search. I can't remember what it's called but there is an actual hockey equipment machine dryer out there. That would be the best!
