Stinky Gloves! - 18 November 2009 09:54

Through vigilant airing I've managed to keep my gloves stink free for almost a year but now they are beginning to get a little funky.

I've heard bad things about using deodarisers with claims that they don't do the gloves a lot of favours so does anyone have any home remedies that they can recommend.

I'm thinking of putting some cat litter in a sock and stuffing the sock in the glove. Does anyone know if this will work?

I have heard that the sock method with a bit of cedar wood bark works well and gives the gloves a nice 'nature' smell, but I can't seem to find any cedar wood bark!

I wouldnt advocate using anything like febreeze inside the glove as it will irritate your skin.
