The Locker Room Horror Show
You just finished a brutal practice. Your legs are burning, your jersey is soaked, and all you want to do is get home. You grab your gear bag, unzip it, and—BOOM.
A smell so foul, so unforgiving, it momentarily makes you forget how to breathe.
Your teammates react immediately.
“Dude, what is that?”
“Not it—I'm not driving him home.”
“Man, just burn the bag and start over.”
The truth hurts: It’s not just your gear that stinks—your bag is the real problem.
Why Does Your Gear Bag Smell Like That?
Your bag has officially turned into a bacteria hotel—a five-star resort for sweat, grime, and odor-causing microbes. Here’s why:
🚫 Trapped moisture – Every time you throw in sweaty gear, moisture builds up, creating a bacteria playground.
🚫 No airflow – Your bag is basically a zipped-up greenhouse for odor.
🚫 Odor transfer – That smell? It’s not just in your gear. It’s seeped into the bag itself, making everything worse.
The longer you ignore it, the stronger it fights back.
The Fix: Declaring War on Gear Bag Funk
It’s time to evict the stink. Follow this game plan to reclaim your bag:
🛑 Step 1: Empty It Like Your Life Depends on It
Dump everything out. Socks, pads, gloves, mystery granola bar from two months ago—it all needs to go.
💨 Step 2: Spray It Like You Mean It
Grab RANK Spray and go to town inside your bag. Focus on the seams, corners, and pockets where sweat loves to hide.
🧼 Step 3: Show Your Gear Some Love
That same bacteria clinging to your bag? It’s all over your gear, too. Spritz your gloves, pads, cleats—whatever’s been marinating in there.
🌬 Step 4: Let It Breathe
Air it all out in a ventilated area. If your gear bag has been festering for months, leave it open overnight.
🔄 Step 5: Keep It Fresh (or Repeat the Nightmare)
Make RANK Spray part of your post-game ritual.
Final Play: Stay Fresh, Play Better
No one wants to be that teammate—the one with a bag so toxic it deserves its own hazard sign.
Do yourself (and everyone around you) a favor: grab RANK Spray today.
