The Smelliest Smell

Okay, maybe not the smelliest, but close.

[livejournal.com profile] skazat is a smelly man in general. He's been back from the Tour Divide for a month, and I'm still trying to de-stink the shorts he rode in on that ride. He took the first few stabs. Multiple rounds through the washing machine and oxyclean did most of the work. Then we hosed them off in Febreeze. We soaked them in soap and vinegar for a few hours, another round through the washing machine. Another round of Febreeze. A round of rubbing alcohol.
They are Febreezing in the sun right now.

The internet also suggests Pinesol, or hydrogen peroxide, or freezing....

Other ideas?

Put them in a bucket with a bunch of charcoal.
Leave them for three months.
Forget them and buy another pair when you can't remember where you put them.

"Throw the shorts away and wear the brick."
