Cleaning Gloves

Recommended Posts

So last year I accidentally left my blood soaked gloves in a zip-loc bag for about a week after my javelina hunt, and they STINK! I have washed them numerous times and tried all kinds of different ways to get the smell out, but they still smell of dead carcass. Does anyone have any ideas to get the smell out? I've heard baking soda might help, but haven't tried yet.

For the amount of money you are going to spend trying to get rid of that smell you are going to be better off buying a new pair.

That's what I figured. They were nice scent-lok gloves that I was hoping to keep around as a backup, but that smell sticks to my hands every time I wear them. Kills me.

Just go buy some blue surgical gloves, they are disposable and there are 100 pair of gloves per box. I just keep 3 or 4 pair in a sandwich ziplock baggy in my pack. The take up nothing for space and they work great.

I would try to soak your gloves in some watet with laundry soap. After a little bit dump the water and do it again. You can use the baking soda after a few rinses. Just use it in the water like you would with the soap. Keep at it. They will come clean.

Ya I know, I always use the rubber gloves and field dressing kit, but while butchering back at camp it was hovering around 10 degrees and I couldn't handle it anymore and threw the gloves back on.

 

Thanks Kaffer, I'll try soaking a couple times and see what I can do.

I have had good luck with that method on pants. Good luck.
