Found a trick to stop my gym bag from smelling like a dead animal
So I got tired of my bag stinking up my car after every workout, right? Tried those charcoal deodorizers, dryer sheets, even febreeze. Nothing worked for more than a day. Then about 3 weeks ago, I tossed a couple of those silica gel packets you find in shoeboxes into the main compartment and the stink vanished. I guess it pulls moisture out. Been 3 weeks and it still smells like nothing. Anyone else tried weird fixes for gym bag odor?

Yo, "still smells like nothing" is the dream lol. My buddy Mark tried that same silica packet thing after he heard it from some dude at his gym. He threw a handful in his bag and left it shut for a weekend. He said when he opened it, the smell wasn't completely gone but it was way less aggressive. He kept doing it and after about two weeks the bag was totally neutral. He told me it worked way better than the baking soda he was using before which just made everything smell like a musty bakery. I'd say you're on to something real here.

And honestly that musty bakery thing is my nightmare. Baking soda just masks smells half the time whereas silica actually pulls the moisture out.
