Field Gear
how to keep field hockey gear smelling fresh?
I'm the field hockey goalie at my high school and my gear (shin guards, pads, pants, etc) always smells soooo bad. I wash my gear in the washing machine every once-in-a-while but i can't take it home every day!
I was just looking for a fast and easy solution to smelly gear. Mostly a solution to smelly shin guards.
Thank you so much!!
If you don't want to take your gear home all the time, a good way to keep your stuff from getting stinky at school is to use Febreze, or any other fabric freshening spray. It leaves a nice scent, and kills the germs that cause the smell.
Also, before playing you should put baby powder on the inside of the shin guards. It helps soak up sweat, so the less sweat that gets on your shin pads, the less they're going to smell.
By waiting once in a while to wash your pads, the smell and germs just accumulate and get worse (especially if they're left in a locker). If you wipe them with disinfecting wipes (something like Clorox or Mr. Clean) after every time you finish playing, you kill the germs and most of the stink right away and stop them from lingering in your pads and building up.
You could also spray your locker (with or without the gear in it) with Lysol or Oust. And make sure you air your stuff out before you put it away!! Just leave it on the floor of the locker room or on a bench.
