Will look into one, not very often i wash the stuff though.

Did you pressure wash your gloves and chest protector too? If you did, and they smelled, they are going to smell 10000 times more now that you fed it with that much water, and no time to dry! lol
Since none of our team knows how to skate we play in an outdoor concrete rink at a community center. So over time lots of dirt and sweat and stuff gets into the pads. Main problem was nobody was willing to take the gear home (Gear owned by team group buy) so we left it under the porch of a friend's home. The wet never got dry so mold started forming and making stains on the pads. Thats why i decided to pressure wash them but without any progress other than the brown sweat and dirt getting off. Googled it online and read a 1:2 dilution of rubbing alcohol would kill off the rest of the bacteria. Did that today, see how it goes tommorow. How the hell do you get rid of mold stains now in the fabric?
