Vapor Fresh Natural Sports Deodorizing Spray for Gym and Fitness Equipment - Boxing Glove Deodorizer, Yoga Mat Cleaner and Sports Gear Spray, 16 Ounces (1-Pack)

Update 01/28/2020.... Oof, the price keeps climbing, Vapor Fresh is pricing themselves out of the market. As is the case, there are always other products out there, and to justify a 30% opens up the door to try other brands. I have tried all of the sports odour sprays on amazon, and this one is by far the best. As a rule, I did not expect this product to take my son's goalie equipment from putrid (which, his equipment is not, nor will ever be in that state of smell or odour) to like new, and you should not expect that from any spray on sports equipment. Today's equipment is so high tech and is practically all synthetic that you can literally wash your sports equipment. What I would suggest to those with pesky or putrid equipment, is to: Step 1, use pure vinegar on the smelliest part of your sports equipment (for my son, it is the goalie gloves) by literally pouring it on. Step 2, after letting them sit for 5 minutes or so, fill up a very large bucket or a laundry sink full of very warm water. Pour a the remainder of the gallon of vinegar in the sink. Place goalie gloves in sink and let sit for 90 minutes, agitate them every half hour or so. Step 3, do not rinse the equipment in water, but instead take them out and let them drip for about 5 minutes. Then, use the Vapor Fresh spray on the wet equipment and spray them really well. Step 4, take your equipment outside (if it is still warm) and let them dry out. If you have to dry them indoors, hang them in such a way so that you can then use a house fan to help dry out the equipment. Take special note of trying to hang the equipment in such a way so that water has a source of escaping the hockey equipment (like the gloves, hang them upside down). Sports sprays like Vapor Fresh are designed to get you through a hockey season, but there is not substitute for washing out your gear every 6 months or so with water and vinegar. I have heard of people washing out there equipment in the dishwasher, but I personally find that disgusting and bad for your gear. I believe the heat of the dishwasher is too high for equipment to be washed in. And I also believe some people use there washing machine and I find that too harsh. The smell comes from the bacteria trapped within the hockey equipment, and vinegar kills bacteria (hence, no more odour) Pros: + It is price below average in cost, so I like the savings. + The bottle spray works, right to the very end. Many of the bottles that come with the sports sprays are either damaged in shipment (too fragile) or stop pumping. The Vapor Fresh bottle is strong. + The smell of the spray wears off after 5 minutes or so leaving you with no scent on the equipment, but at the same time it neutralizes any residual smells. + The product does not affect my child's skin, as I spray his goalie gloves before placing them on a glove dryer. When he plays with the equipment, he is not affected by the product in any way. Cons: - I wish Vapor Fresh was available in a refillable type container, it would represent savings as well as have a lower environment impact (less spray bottles to recycle).

This is a very good purchase for any combat sports, was using and anti bacterial spray on my Gloves and shin pads. It kinda worked but this stuff is highly recommended. It killed all the stink in my Gloves over night. As well as it being kept in my gym bag I spray my car seats with it, I have used it to neutralise cat pee smell on the couch. I love this stuff and I will be spraying all my sparing partners gloves that have added poison damage. No more smell jabs to the head.

Used to clean my boxing gloves
