tdifan_2003 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi all, I have already Googled it. Do you ever wash your liners? Specifically - thermo fitted ones? I thing, mine are about to need some ............... refreshment . Has anyone tried putting them in a washer? If so - any specific detergents? baking soda, freezing them are some of the suggested ideas from Tetongravity. Please share your thoughts and experience , Millen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Donnelly Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Stamp out boot stink and mildew. Spray a dash of boot juice in those puppies every now and again to keep 'em smelling sweet as a daisy and keep creepy swamp growth at bay. Big 20 oz. pump spray can. Due to its flammable propellent, we can only ship this item to customers in the lower 48 U.S. states. http://www.tognar.com/boot_heater_warmer_fitting_dryer_canting_dryers_ski_snowboard.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Great suggestions guys :). Thanks! Though, it does not answer my question - how to actually wash off the smell before I start taking regular maintenance care for the liners.

tdifan_2003 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks Pat, I went thru both treads. For now, I'd try the baking soda +/- Febreeze. Vinegar, although supposedly very effective, would leave me with another odor :D. I do agree though that dry feet will do better than wet ones. I used to use regular foot powder bought from Walmart. I had not used it in a while and this is when I started noticing some more smell . Apparently, nobody has put the liners in the laundry machine, so I am not gonna do that either. Thanks!

pow4ever Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 it's TGR so take the good and leave the bad. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137368 From that thread: http://www.air-zone.com/sportsozone.html I removed my liner after every ride and use DryZone Boot Dryer. It work pretty well. -- David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thank you all, I used some solution with baking soda and water and sprayed them with a spray bottle. They are drying up now and we'll see. To be continued :), Millen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be continued :), Millen hi TD1FAN i also use the baking soda with water in a spray bottle but i also mix in isopropyl alcohol in the same proportion as the water. not only does the isopropyl alcohol kill germs but it makes the liners dry a lot faster. after you get them clean, your regular maintenance can be just spraying with a 50/50 solution of isopropyl alcohol and water after each use--this is what old school tour-de-france racers did before the advent of quick dry synthetics.
