Kids get older; they smell.
The odors cling to everything. My most recent discovery is how bad shin guards can stink.
As little kids playing soccer, the only thing that got grimy was the uniform after a fall, but generally because of playing after. Someone always seemed to get their hands into the dirt. Had it not been for this dirt, they could wear their uniforms over a few times.
Not anymore.
OMG!
I remember their shin guards still looking new after many wears. As teens, after a few wears I began to notice a smell. Then I noticed a yellowish tint on the what should be white back sides. Sweat? Yuck!
The stench can be described as putrid, vile, offending, etc.
So I started hand washing these odor collectors. I would use a bit of detergent and scrub. I'm thinking of using baking soda next time. I might have my son start carrying dryer sheets to mask the smell in his backpack, too.
Sharing this article I came across via ehow.com: How to Remove Odor from Shin-Guards
Cheers!
