how to deodorize sports gear in the summer

Keeping Summer Camp Gear Funk at Bay

Hot weather doesn’t have to mean smelly gear.

With summer camps just around the corner, it’s time to start prepping the gear, packing the bags—and planning ahead to avoid the inevitable stink.

Because here’s the truth:
☀️ Long, hot days + sweaty gear + sealed-up bags = one epic odor explosion.
If gear gets left to marinate between sessions, the funk builds fast, and suddenly your camper is known for more than just their game.

Whether it’s cleats, pads, or a well-worn gear bag, smells can take over quickly—and ruin the camp experience for everyone in the car ride home.

RANK Spray = Summer Camp Freshness

Get ahead of the stink before camp kicks off.

RANK Spray is the ultimate odor-eliminating spray for athletes—perfect for spring sports now and summer camps later.
Its non-toxic, gear-safe formula tackles odor at the source, leaving gear fresh, clean-smelling, and totally camp-ready.

How to Keep Gear Fresh at Summer Camp

🎒 Unpack Daily
As soon as the camp day ends, unpack the gear bag. Fresh air is your first defense against heat-related odor buildup.

💨 Spray It Down
Spray shoes, pads, straps, gloves, towels—anything that traps sweat. RANK Spray neutralizes odor molecules fast.

🌬 Dry Thoroughly
Lay gear out in a ventilated area to dry overnight. Preventing moisture buildup is key to stopping that musty smell.

🔁 Repeat Each Day
Make it a daily habit throughout the week of camp. Consistency is the key to staying one step ahead of the stink.

Gear Up for a Fresh Summer

Because this summer? The only thing your athlete should leave behind is a good impression—not a bad smell.
