I put my gloves in a mesh laundry bag and don't use the clothes dryer to dry them--they will dry overnight in the house. The heat in a dryer will do unkind things to the leather or other materials in gloves. And wash every week.

and this time, wash your hands more often dude. :p

I go through two sets of gloves a season for odiferous reasons.
The ones I use are about $6 at Target and or Wally World.

Enjoy

OK., what got tossed, the gloves, or your cookies?













Or both?

Heh I tossed the gloves, washed my hands, and now I have 2 pairs of these plus another pair of pearl izumi's to switch between.

Any willing to transfer their stink-busting expertise to shoes? mine honk even after a hot washing machine wash. Last time I stuck them in the dishwasher, even that didn't work. My colleauge is gasping.

This stuff WORKS. It works on tomcat piss AND skunk spray. I'm a betting it will work on your stinky gloves too. I dumped this onto our tomcat pissed-upon front door and the smell was gone literally instantly. I have soaked tomcat blankets in this and then washed them and the come out smelling nice and clean, no odor at all. Neighbor's dog was skunk sprayed and this took care of it without hurting the dog, except it made the dogs's coat a tad drier.

The detergent in the following is necessary to break down any oils in the smelly stuff (like in skunk spray), so you might want to try just the peroxide and soda to soak your gloves in if you don't have any liquid Dawn detergent. Just the peroxide and soda has worked for me on smelly, non-oily stuff.

The "recipe" is 1 pint (2 cups) over-the-counter medicinal use hydrodgen peroxide + 1/4 baking soda (bicarbonate of soda aka "Arm and Hammer") and a tablespoon or two of good liquid (by hand) dishwashing DETERGENT--like than "Dawn" diswashing liquid. Dissolve the baking soda into the hydrogen peroxide and stir in the hand diswashing detergent. Soak your gloves in this for a while and then rinse and launder. Air dry your gloves and don't let them go so long next time if you sweat alot in them!

Hey ripe-fingers...which suggestion worked?

I just toss them in the washing machine with other cycling gear about every week or so (no bleach, no fabric softener). And I buy cheap ones so that I don't feel too bad about discarding them when they fall apart or when the Antistink Resistant Bacteria buildup becomes too great.

hydrogen peroxide

I didn't try them yet, after I saw that green crap growing on the inside of it, I junked it. But I'll pick up some hydro this weekend at the pharmacy and see if it can get the funk out of my pearl izumi jersey heh.
