NO MORE chemical sprays, NO MORE laying in the sun, NO MORE freezer, NO MORE tricks, nose plugs or gagging! Simply place the stix inside your gear (or if they are for your kids they are easy for them to do it themselves) immediately after use and let them do the work for you! They will inhibit 99.9% of odor causing bacteria in 24 hours while also absorbing moisture and deodorizing. When the gear is not in use, and filled with moisture keep the stix in, that’s when they do their best work!
