i mix 50% rubbing alcohol and
vinegar and water. adjust the
amounts to your specifications.
yes, the vinegar smells but only
for ~10 minutes.
For years, I have been using Skechers Odor Eliminator Spray for my shoes and w.o. gloves, hen I finish my w.o. The 6oz bottle used to be $8. Several months ago, I walked in to a store to buy a few more, and they were $10. They have now raised the price to $12. No.
Any other suggs?
Thanks in advance.
Another vote for OdoBan. I pay around $11 or so for a gallon at Home Depot.

I'm still going to vote for SOAP and WATER. Surely far less than $11/gal., and way more effective.
Keep yourself clean, and keep your clothing clean, and you won't smell bad. Seems kind of remarkable that we have to tell someone this in the year 2023, but there it is.

Soap and water often isn't enough to break down odor causing compounds, which is why you might need to supplement with enzyme type cleaners.
Your comment about keeping yourself and your clothes clean is extremely odd in this instance. The OP question is related to his workout clothes, which by their very nature are going to get sweaty and dirty.

If you start out with a clean body contained in clean clothes, athletic activity will not by itself make you smell bad. When you finish the workout, take a shower and put your clean street clothes back on, and then take your sweaty workout clothes home and WASH THEM.

Right off the bat you get it wrong. While this may be true for YOU (and I, for that matter) there are a whole host of variables that can affect this for other people.

Right. But as my previous post pointed out, there are many for whom that doesn't work well enough.

Honestly, am I actually having to explain this?
I'm more concerned about why you're so invested in arguing here. Either you're ignorant to the fact that other people's bodies are different from yours or you just so damned determined to look smarter than everyone else. Either one is a bad look, frankly.

I sweat a lot in the gym. For things like workout clothes, washing them immediately with detergent works. But for my shoes, not at all. Things like Odoban are needed, and even then I have 5 pairs of workout shoes and need to replace them every 3 or so months.
If you sweat a lot, it's a battle to keep your workout clothes smelling nice. Generally the more muscle mass you have, the more you will sweat as muscle is like 70% water.
