Hey guys, I'm trying to remove the stank from a bag that I've been using for the last few seasons. Basically, the back pads and especially the shoulder straps smell like my hockey gear, even after a fairly detailed sponge bath with warm water and some liquid Tide. I've come across a couple interesting remedies on some backpacking forums, but I'm not sure how well they work. Can anyone validate 1 or more of the following remedies:
1) Spraying with vinegar
2) Spraying with pet odor eliminator
3) Spraying with carpet cleaner
3) Spraying with vodka....not joking
4) Spraying with Lysol
5) Filling with fresh clean cat litter and letting sit for a day or two
6) Soaking in a tub of water and baking soda
I'm looking for a solution that is least likely to ruin my bag in the process of de-stanktifying it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
