My football gloves make my hands stink... Please help...?

Question

I bought a pair of underarmour heatgear lineman gloves and they work great and keep my hands protected very well...

But after a few practices/games, they start to leave a heavy stink on my hands that doesn't seem to ever come off. Its quite disgusting and i really hope someone might be able to assist me!

What can i do to either make my hands stop stinking, or even better, keep my gloves from getting stinky?

Answer 1

It's the bacteria in the gloves that are making your hands smell.  Take the gloves and put newspaper inside, then put them in the freezer.  The newspaper will help to absorb the moisture and the freezer will kill the bacteria.  Works for sneakers, too.

Answer 2

Spray them with Febreze after you wear them.
