10. Stinky Sports Equipment Hack

Do any of your family members participate in sports activities? Sure, you can wash the jerseys, shorts, and socks, but what about the stinky football helmet? Or the baseball smelly baseball glove? This hack is amazing for deodorizing those pieces of equipment we can’t just throw in the wash! Place the item in a large ziplock bag and stick it in the freezer. According to cleaning blogger, Becky, the smell comes from bacteria. By sticking the item in the freezer, the bacteria will die, thus ridding the item of further smell. There might be some residual smell that you can get rid of using air freshener or a spray of vinegar, but the main culprit will be long gone!
