Smelly bags...no, like REALLY smelly.
So a bottle of week-old accelerade exploded in my bag. My bag honestly smells like thousand sweaty anuses covered in old milk and vomit.
Things I've tried:
1) Febreze...lots.
2) Baking soda.
3) OXYCLEAN. I blew on it to increase the POWER OF OXYGEN.
4) Laundry detergent.
5) Lemon juice. This seemed like it worked. Now my bag smells like anuses, vomit and lemons...plus milk.
6) Medicated foot powder.
7) Simple green. Then I hosed the bag. I'm letting it dry in the sun with a box of baking soda inside.
Any other ideas?
p.s. What do you call a deer with no eyes? No eye deer.

i've had luck using a paper towel covered with dr. bronners. this is mainly after falling with a 40 in my bag or some such problem that leaves the inside of the bag reeking of cheap booze...it might be something to try, though. dr. bronners seems to work really well for a lot of stuff.

Bleach to kill the bacteria (and/or alcohol), and then baking soda to get rid of the bleach smell.
If that doesn't kill it, get a new bag.
And accelerade taste like ****. I still have a big ass tub of them.

vinegar
it kills 99% of germs and once it eventually dries dries odor free...that might work

what's the material? straight Canvas or vinyl (or whatever the inside of Chrome bags are)?
Cleaning it then letting it dry out in the sun --even if its cold outside-- should help a little.

This might sound like a crazy idea, but hear me out: buy some green tea from one of those oriental shops - they usually have it for really cheap. If not, you guys are being ripped off.
Anyway, prepare a couple of litres of green tea, but instead of removing the leaves 2 minutes after you poured the hot water on them, leave it be for a couple of hours. Probably one hour is enough, but anyway, it's not like you'll be sitting there for an hour waiting. Oh, and use a LOT of leaves. It's gotta be a potent solution. About 10x like for a normal tea.
Use this liquid to draw the bag in. I don't know what kind of bag you have, but it should be in this superstrong green tea for half a day.
That should do the trick.
EDIT: bleech will work, too, but it has nasty side-effects, a terrible smell being one. Green tea, instead, has a very pleasant smell once your bag dries.

My simple green/febreze/cologne concoction has done nothing to abate the horrid smell.
I'm going to try the doc brommer's (since I have some already...don't know why I didn't think of that), then maybe the cat pee stuff?
I guess I could try alcohol, let it dry -> brommer's just for good measure.

Flip it inside out and soak it in a bucket filled with diluted bleach overnight. If that dosen't work then cologne the hell out of it and sell it on CL. xD
What do you call a half-eaten deer with no legs and no eyes?
Still half no eye deer.
