getting rid of the garage smell

[rh71]

anyone use anything in particular ?

It's not a musty smell for me... but an athletic equipment smell but whatever... just need to neutralize it... what do you guys leave in there to help it, if anything...

 

Keep the door open when you're home. The smell will disappear on its own.

Because he didn't use soap.

spray lysol or oust like mad every day until it goes away
and/or try setting up an air circulation system using box fans, put one or two in the door blowing in (or one in, one out if you dont have windows or doors), one in another outside door and/or one in a window (only and if you have two in the main door)
for fans just use the same principal as computer case cooling

baking soda or plugins not strong enough ?

can't do it all the time... use it multiple times a week. I do spray something directly on the equip that kills the bacteria and smell after each game, but obviously it's not enough.

see that's not the problem, but we hang shirts to dry in there too... and it smells it up. And no, there's not really any place to hang things up to dry in the house without it getting in the way... and no, I'm not going to use the power-hungry dryers on white t-shirts I wear to sleep or quick trips out. The problem is, it smells up the shirts so I simply want to neutralize the smell if there is a way... if not, then the thread has served its purpose.
