** This thread discusses the Content article: How do you remove odor from your equipment? **

Haven't tried the arxodos, but i might give it a try.

If I lay my pads out in the open and let them air out when I get home from the rink, then they usually don't smell too bad.

I do not recommend fabreeze. I used it once and it made everything smell worse and it was harder to get rid of the smell.

I just tried some arm and hammer deodorizing spray on my old gloves that smelled absolutely horrible. Now, they have very little smell at all, with the hint of the sprays smell. It is easy to find and works great.

what about just sprinkling in some arm and hammer baking soda?
I'd think that would do about the same for the smell in the gloves, although I imagine it would leave your hands looking powder white the first use or two.

Mixture of alcohol (look for rubbing alcohol at the pharmacy) and water in 1:3 proportions works well, make sure to dry it out on the sun.

I put my equipment out to dry and after that I put it into the shock doctor bag and use their blow dryer with the ionizer. I have some equipment that it is in good shape after months of use (skates and gloves seem to work well if you put them right at the place where the blower attaches and pushes the air into the bag). The pants seem to also work well and have next to no smell.
Elbow pads seem to take extra time and so do the shin pads and hang onto their smell more than other equipment if you don't give them an extra hour more than the other equipment.

The smell creeps in slowly over time (in particular during the humid summer months) but using the bag seems to reduce the smell to a minimum level. The dryer works better in the winter or if the A/C is on in the house (I think because it's working with dry air, not humid air).

Basically the equipment still needs to go for a professional cleaning after 4-6 months but during that time it doesn't get funky at all. I'd bet that if I left the blower running a full 24 hours it would remove almost 100% of the smell but a 3-4 hour use of the blower seems to be enough to keep the equipment fairly fresh so there's no need to keep it running all the time.
