Does anyone have success stories for keeping nasty batting gloves from smelling. I think my dd must have the sweatiest hands and even with changing a couple times a season they are almost unbearable. I bought "Funkbegone" from Amazon and it's not touching it. Appreciate any suggestions!

I had to buy new ones, and I put a new grip on the bat.

My DD uses Sweat X odor eliminator from Dick’s. It has worked well on her batting gloves, cleats/turfs, batting helmet and her bat bag.

You can actually wash most batting gloves. Use the whitest white setting, add a little bleach to kill the bacteria causing the odor and some Gain. You can also do this with the insoles in the cleats/turfs/tennys. Use Sweat X in between washes.

Use antibacterial hand lotion before each game you will have no issues.



This works wonders on stinky feet.

Gloves have a bad smell because during use it has absorbed sweat from your hands and then not cleaned properly, you put it away to use for the next ball game. You must clean your gloves then dry them thoroughly and absorb all the moisture.

Inserting odor-absorbing products like activated charcoal sachets, baking soda packets, or cedar chips into your batting gloves when storing them can help absorb moisture and reduce odors. Consider wearing thin moisture-wicking glove liners beneath your batting gloves. These liners can help absorb sweat and prevent direct contact between your skin and the gloves, reducing odor buildup.

Hello ;
With my son's batting gloves, I experienced the same problem. Even after using many different products, the odour lingered. Finally, I started using moisture-wicking glove liners and regularly spraying the gloves with a mixture of water and white vinegar.:)

Stinky batting gloves are a common issue among athletes, caused by sweat and bacteria buildup. To prevent odor, regularly wash gloves, air them out, and use antibacterial sprays. Proper hygiene and maintenance can keep your batting gloves smelling fresh.

Dealing with unpleasant odors in baseball gloves that are used regularly can be a problem. Here are some suggestions to help reduce bad smells in baseball gloves:

Drying Glove: After use, always dry your baseball glove in a place exposed to direct sunlight. This helps dry it out and kills bacteria that can cause unpleasant odors.

Change Gloves Timely: Make sure you have several pairs of gloves that you can change regularly throughout the season. That way, you don't need to constantly use damp and smelly gloves.

Use Odor Absorbents: You can add odor absorbents such as cotton balls or sachets with odor absorbing materials inside the gloves after use. This helps reduce unpleasant odors.

Clean Gloves: Periodically, you can clean your gloves by wiping them with a cloth dampened with a mixture of water and a little white vinegar. Make sure to dry it completely after cleaning it.

Use Air Freshening Products: In addition to "Funkbegone," you can also try special air freshening products designed to remove unpleasant odors from gloves.

Avoid Storing Your Glove in Your Baseball Bag: After playing, avoid storing your glove in your closed baseball bag. This can cause the gloves to remain damp and smelly.

Consider a Glove with Anti-Odor Technology: Some baseball glove manufacturers offer gloves with anti-odor technology designed to reduce unpleasant odors.

Hopefully these suggestions help solve your baseball glove odor problem. If the problem persists, you may want to consult another baseball player or your local sporting goods store for further advice.

Thanks, you made my day. I am a college student and I am a sports person, I occasionally struggle with submitting in my assignments on time. One of my new friends suggested that I check out this https://academized.com/do-my-homework website, which does your homework. I have to say, after using them, that paying for your job is worthwhile. Fantastic work. If you are a college student who occasionally finds it difficult to turn in assignments on time, you can check them out.
Thanks, you made my day.

Edit: It helps me a lot.

Thank you for providing additional suggestions to help reduce unpleasant odors in baseball gloves. These are indeed helpful tips that can contribute to keeping the gloves fresh and odor-free. Following a combination of these suggestions should greatly improve the smell of the gloves. It's also worth noting that proper care and maintenance, as well as allowing the gloves to fully dry after each use, can go a long way in preventing odors from developing in the first place.
