Now that the sweaty summer months have all but passed ...spent this
week-end pulling the liners out of my helmets and jackets and giving
'em a good wash ......... what you Guys use on stinking sweaty boots ??

 

Mark,
I did the same thing today. Pulled out all my protective pads from jackets and trousers, gave them a good wash and stuffed all the pads back in ready for tomorrow morning.
It's not fall weather here though. We've got some serious overheating issues going on. Indian summer? Ya think?
Anyway, which ever jacket I take in the morning, it's clean. Nice!
Boots? I just wash them wish soapy water, dry and forget. Never had wet feet since I bought them and they don't stink, however much I sweat.
What kind of boots do you wear anyway?

 

These Henry .... very waterproof but sweat like a bastard in them .....getting a bit
cheesy ......... yeah we've had 4 days of monsoon weather here which stinks !

 

I like to use bi carb soda, it is good for soaking up bad smells, use some diluted in the water u use for washing the boots, after boots are dry sprinkle some more bi carb inside them, should help, just call me Martha Stuart.

 

+1 on the bi carb. Some charcoal inserts will stop 'em getting too bad in the first place too. Just change them every now and then.

Oh yeah Mark...Washing your feet helps too.

 

I thought it was only POMS that did not like to wash!

 

Hey:

+1 on above.
Arm and Hammer baking soda and club soda for me too. Scrub a little club soda in then add the A&H in, then rinse with the club soda and rinse again with reg water till clean, works good for me. You can also do it this way, scrub the area with club soda, and let the area dry. Then sprinkle the area with baking soda, and let it stand. Afterwards, vacuum the baking soda up, this works if it is not very bad. The carbonation seems to help get it clean and rid of all the A&H residue. If they really smell bad use a combination containing 1 quart of 3-percent hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 teaspoon liquid soap. Rinse it well, and then air dry them. Trash the remaining unused cleaner. If these boots are really waterproof this should not harm them. Also +1 on the odor eaters if its a big problem also wick away socks help too.

Once a month, need it or not mate.

 

all I can add to that would be
