Cassie Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I have a favourite pair of MTB gloves that are just majic!! Love them and the gel support they give... Problem is - they are getting really old and smelly!! Even after a wash through he machine, it seems that on their first use afterwards they start to smell like err...well used gloves. I wonder if there are any other "treatments" out there to rejuvenate these? Would boiling them a bit help?
dirtrider Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Boiling ?? not so sure bout that , what about a bit of JIK or something similar . They might color a bit but will have a new smell at least .
Cassie Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 sigh.....men! just buy a new pair Nooooo!! Don't say that!! I already have a new pair - Pearl Inzumi nogaal, BUT these ones I like more...they've really moulded to my hands (no pun intended) OK, so boiling them is a bit extreme....what else can remove that "old sweaty smell"? Maybe i must just perfume them....
Christopher Brunsdon Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Oom C, soak them in diluted Bicarbonate of Soda ! Its the oldest housewives trick but still works the best. You can also sprinkle some Bicarb after each use. Works also for shoes, mattress and your fridge. Actually those miracle odor away sprays you buy at Mall stalls is just Bicarb and Water. The same goes to 1:1 White Vinegar and water mixture to clean LCDs and PLASMAs.
Face Plant Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Cassie i totally relate to what you saying! i have a pair of bart brentjens gloves that i love but man they pong something serious! i wash them alot but like you say after one ride they pong again so much so that my bike room smells terrible when you go in there
Cassie Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 I'm glad I'm not alone in this... Thanks for the bicarb advice... I'm sure that will do the trick! Actually forgotten about that one...

The smell will mean nothing to you in very short time. Edited April 12, 2011 by The Drongo
