There have been a lot of questions on how to get rid of locker room smells and what to do about smelly socks and  how to getting rid of the odor.  Add on how to get rid of gym bad odor which seems to always be a top item on the to do list.

Athletes odors and smell issues are well known.  Just as they are hero’s in the high schools, colleges, and professionally odor do come with the game and do follow.

Here are the key odor issues :

1: Smelly socks. If you wear a sock once and it smells, it is not the sock, it is the sports shoe.  Also foot odor can be a big smelly problem.   When you wear socks more than once with out washing them, they are going to have odors.  Wash them!!!  For getting rid of odors in sports shoes or sneakers, use a naturally activated charcoal odor absorber like Innofresh odor Eliminators www.innofresh.com .  Place an absorber in each shoe and the odors will be absorbed quickly.

2: Athletes feet or Foot Fungus.  If your foot oozes, or has a cut or blister, then the odor will transfer to the sock.  If your skin is pealing off  in the shoe, the sock will smell of dead skin. Get to a foot doctor, and be sure the area is clean and kept dry. Keep the sport shoe dry or dry it out in between.  Do not leave it in a gym bag that will keep moisture in.  For regular foot-ware odor, an odor absorber in each shoe will work fine.

3: Sport shoes or sneakers that have moisture is going to have  ongoing odor.  Change the insert, place an odor absorber in the shoe each night.  Do not leave your shoes in the gym bag if moist.  They need to breath and they need to have the odor absorbers.

4: Gym clothes and gym bags.   The gym bag can stink just because of the material it is made of, or because of the smelly clothes and shoes in the bag, which makes it enclosed and absorbed the odor into the materials.  If the gym cloths still smell after they have been washed,  There has been an odor transfer that has happened and you need get an odor absorber into the bag to stop this transfer of odor.

5: The locker you store your gear in will have the odor of the last few people who have used it and have left an odor profile in the locker.  Keep an Fridge It Odor absorber with you, that you are using in the gym bag and toss it in the locker so prevent odor transfer.
