JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 My son's started playing and it's getting bad. We take everything out of the bag to air out after each practice but that ain't cuttin it...
erynthered Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Wash what you can, and use dryer sheets in the bag. Thats the best I got!!
dib Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 My son's started playing and it's getting bad. We take everything out of the bag to air out after each practice but that ain't cuttin it... My son played also. We filled a tub,soap and water, and put in all the gear we could. Let it air dry and it helped. Use fabreze on the bag interior, there are other specific deoderizers but they're way expensive and due the same job. Dont let the gear sit in the bag, wet, air it out after practice.
Captain Caveman Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Real hockey players (and their families) live with stench.
Chef Jim Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Could be worse, he could be playing soccer and coming home smelling like rose water
dhg Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Make sure you keep the gloves stinky in case he needs to give the opponent a face wash. Edited October 18, 2012 by dhg
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Make sure you keep the gloves stinky in case he needs to give the opponent a face wash. But then his hands smell like that
Captain Caveman Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 But then his hands smell like that So don't give him a reason to give you a face wash.
DC Tom Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 But then his hands smell like that It's a man's sport. You're supposed to stink. If you don't like it, you should have gotten him into macrame.

biglukes Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Can't remember the last time I washed any of my equipment outside of the jerseys very occasionally. I just open up the bag and let it air out after ever every game. Anything more is not worth it. It's hockey. Everyone's stuff stinks.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Some places promote Ozone deodorizers. They don't work. Your best bet is to wash the things that can be washed in a little soap and bleach. Take them to a laundromat and use the big machines. Bundle your gear so it doesn't flop around. In fact use a gentle cycle. Take his helmet and soak it in a bucket of water and a capful of bleach. Best to air dry stuff. If you have a dehumidifier put your gear in a small room or closet and crank it up until it dries. If you use a dryer set to low or no heat. Leather things like gloves, all you can do us dry them and spray them with Febreese...or just get new ones every few months. PTR
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I air out and febreeze my gear after each game. Once a month i will throw everything in the washer and wash it. This is about the best realistic advice you can hope for
