The Truth About Stinky Lacrosse Gloves (and How to Fix Them)

You step onto the field, ready to win every faceoff and cradle past defenders like a pro. But there’s one problem—

Your gloves smell like a science experiment gone wrong.

After every game, they absorb sweat, dirt, and bacteria, turning into odor factories that can clear the sideline faster than a fast-break goal. And the worst part? That funk doesn’t stay in your gloves—it spreads to your gear bag, hands, and everything else it touches.

Ignoring it? Not an option.

The Fix: How to Keep Your Lacrosse Gloves Smelling Fresh

🏆 Step 1: Spray After Every Use
As soon as you take off your gloves, hit them with RANK Spray—inside and out. It neutralizes instantly, stopping odors before they have a chance to settle in.

🌬 Step 2: Air Them Out
Leaving them in your gear bag overnight? Big mistake. Lay them out in a well-ventilated area so they dry completely before your next game.

🔄 Step 3: Freshen Up Between Games
Doubleheader? Tournament weekend? A quick spritz between games keeps your gloves (and your hands) from becoming a walking hazard zone.

🎒 Step 4: Treat Your Bag Too
Even if your gloves are fresh, your gear bag isn’t. Spray the inside of your bag with RANK Spray to keep it from breeding bacteria and making everything smell worse.

Win Every Faceoff—Without the Funk

Because your gloves should help you grip the ball—not make you lose friends.
