Place it under the sun for a while, then wash it thoroughly -only this stuff nothing along with it, put perfumed detergent (am sure that you would have already done).\n\nIf the smell is from undergarments and other clothing stuff then it is only becuase of cultured bacteria that has taken home in your sons stuff, the sun ought to take care of it.\n\nIf all else fails -burn it before he is held responsible for starting a pandemic (LOL).\n\nGood Luck

Sometimes theres no gentle way to do it.  Tell him he smells and its very unpleasant for everyone around him.  he probably cant smell it any more.

Try putting it in a box or container large enough to put a box of baking soda in there also. You don't want to put any chemicals or sprays on the material, this could damage it.Baking soda absorbs odors. Change if necessary and let air at it occasionally.

Hello.  This is a very important question.  I would suggest waiting until his radiator has reached its maximum temperature, then preparing a concoction of fish guts, garlic, bong water, and urine, then when he is not in his office, pour it all over his radiator.  Heat seems to make a pungent odor diffuse through the air more thoroughly.  If his heating system is not hydronic, just dump it on his wall and let it dry.

My sister had this similar problem..I told her to go to the store such as Home Depot etc and ask them for T.S.P. or Tri Sodium Phosphate..make sure you are wearing good rubber gloves and read the directions for cleaning..it works well for taking smoke stains off house walls also..then make sure any unused product is kept out of reach of children and water..this can get to be nasty stuff.

If it's just odours then air it outside for at least 4 hours. A day is better.\n\nIf it really must be cleaned then do think of dry cleaning and if it must be washed then do it in as cool a wash as possible and be gentle, like with a lover. Or even gentler than that; cos lets be honest- loving does take a little bit of force. Ooh baby.

Take 1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (available from any drugstore), 1/4 cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate for you science types) and 1 teaspoon of liquid soap, such as Ivory. Mix and immediately apply to the stinky pet. Rinse thoroughly with tap water.\n\nBE CAREFUL -- read the full article below.

The only thing I can suggest is a ozone generator, I know it can kill odors, fungus, viruses and bacteria. It is a strong oxidant ans may work.

you can't wash hockey gloves.  But there are some arenas that offer equipment cleaning.  Usually $50.00 for the entire set and your bag.  If you want gloves that don't stiffen or STINK to high heavens after even prolonged wear, get a pair with goat skin palm ( the goat skin is antibacterial) Eagle makes a great glove that is available with goatskin.  Washing your gloves will ruin them.  Your gear SHOULD be taken to an equipment cleaning pro once a season to get rid of all that disgustin bacteria.

First get your equipment out of you bag as quickly as possible after playing and hang them or lay them out somewhere that air can get at them (outside is best if you have a bolcony etc) so that they dry and the bacteria doesn't grow.  If they still stink too much for you after that you can mix rubbing alcohol with water (somewhere around 10% alcohol is good) and spray that on the inside of the gear as you lay it out, this kills the bateria even faster as well and the alcohol will evaporate right out.  I also like to wear under armour under my pads as it keeps some of the sweat from soaking into them and is easy to wash.

here is an easy one to answer.  I was a mechanic.  Go to the store and buy GO-JO Orange hand cleaner.  Scrub his clothes with that and rinse and then wash.  I removes most stains and removes the gas smell

I just went through this because I used to smoke in my bedroom and we were selling and we wanted it fresh. \n\nTry carpet fresh on the floors, Fabreze on the seats (if they are not leather), crumple up old newspaper and put them under the seat (they absorb odors), and sit a bowl of white vinegar under the seats or in the floor board when you are not driving. You can even dilute vinegar and use it on your windows and interior to wipe everything down. Allow the car to air out as much as possible too. Regular old baking soda sprinkled on the seats and floors will absorb odors too, then all you gotta do is vacuum it up. Charcoal placed on some cardboard under the seats would absorb smoke smell too. If everything fails you can have it professionally shampooed. I found a lot of info just doing searches when I was looking. Good luck!

A "live trap" is the best way to do it. \n\nSee the info here:\n\nhttp://www.victorpest.com/canada/traps.asp

They are usually nothing to be alarmed about.  Get a humidifier and/or vaporizer.  My nephew gets them.\n\nSaline spray is supposedly a good thing too.\n\nPinch for 10 minutes is the recommended solution I believe.  \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_nose\n\nBeware, the picture isn't pretty.

I use Goo Gone and then just take a scraper and scrape it off.  Add some rubbing alcohol if that fails.

You can get your gear cleaned -- there's services that do that.  Ask at your local pro shop.\n\nBut really, as far as gear goes, prevention's worth a pound of cure in this case.  *Always* take your gear, all your gear, out of your bag.  Spread it out to dry.  Every time.  \n\nI've been religious about making sure my gear makes it out of the bag to dry after every game, and it doesn't smell at all.\n\nI'm not sure I'd put vinegar on your gloves if the palm is leather.  Vinegar's about a ph3, which is reasonably acidic, and your gloves are constantly under assault from the acid your skin generates... I'd think that would only eat through them quicker.\n\nI'd try putting your gloves out in the sunshine a few times, palm down so the leather doesn't dry out too much.\n\nBut in the end -- ask anyone who does it -- drying your gear completely each time is really the best way to keep it from getting stinky.
