Smellywrist bands

It is so nice to know I am not the only gym mom with this problem. My DD wont let me wash them, but I have resorted to spraying the entire inside of the grip bag with Febreze. If done right after her bar rotation they are dry the next day. Her grips were so bad her nylon grip bar even smelled. I can't believe my Lil princess can conjure such a horrid smell!!!

How long have you had them? What do you do to make yours not smell?

My DD wrist bands stink to high heavan. It is so bad that it has pemeated the grip bag. I got a travel size bottle of Febreeze nnd I spray the wrist bands and grip bag daily. She won't let me wash her wristbands often but this helps me control the toxic waste smell. I also roll her wrist bands in baking soda after they are washed this helps with the smell also. It cured my sons stinky soccer cleats!!!!

I don't know if this will work but it seems to work for many other things... put a dryer sheet in the grip bag with the wrist bands and grips

I had to wash mine today because I got a spectacular rip last night . I keep one of those drawer air freshener things in my bag, which works really well and also, you don't need 2 remember to spray the freshener. We have an award at Awards Night for the smelliest wristbands tho

Also does anyone know how you get blood stains out of them? I have a yucky gray mark there now and it doesn't look nice.

If they have been dried in the dryer the stain most likely won't come out - but try soaking them in hydrogen perioxide anyway.

My wristbands get to smelling really bad! So bad sometimes that my bag smells really bad as well! I have to wash my every few weeks. I have forgoten them as well and had to do bars with out them and that hurt really bad. Lets just say I dont forget them anymore...
