“Vapor Fresh is exactly what I was looking for to clean and deodorize my kickboxing gear. It's reasonably priced, effective, has no harsh chemicals, and smells great!”
“Hello, I am very pleased with the product. My kids play lacrosse and now my basement smells so much better. I plan to purchase the deodorizer again.”
“I love this product. It keeps my gear smelling fresh. I wish it was sold by the gallon. I also use this to clean my mats up”
“I've been using Vapor Fresh for about a year or so now and the product is amazing. I've been spraying it in my workout sneakers that I've had for a year and they do not stink at all! Highly recommend this product. Also use it for my gym bag and random t shirts. Works great.”
“The spray works great to neutralize the sweat on my sons hockey equipment. I needed this when I was a kid !!”
“With my son and I both playing hockey, this has really helped our gear smell better and has given us a 'fresher' feeling playing hockey. It also keep my wife happier because we don't have the sweaty, gross "hockey smell" in the garage anymore (if you know, you know).”
“After trying Vapor Fresh, I'll never go back to the generic-brand sports cleaner deodorizer. Wonderful, clean smell that isn't too powerful or overwhelming. I just lightly sprayed the product on my Yoga mat, my hiking shoes and snowboarding boots with surprising results. Simply: spray and air-dry.”
“Outstanding product and customer support when shipping damaged or lost part of my order”
Why You’ll Love
Vapor Fresh
Odor lives within the padding. Vapor Fresh attacks the sweat and grime. Other cleaners just spray perfume over it.
Most gym and household sprays lean on quats — harsh disinfectant chemicals that can irritate skin and lungs. Vapor Fresh is plant-based and quat-free, so it’s tough on odor and gentle on the gear that touches your skin.
It’s a leave-on formula. Spray, let it air dry, done. No rinsing, no wiping, and no sticky film or residue on your pads, gloves or mats.
A light, clean scent that fades as your gear dries — not a heavy perfume that hangs around. What’s left is gear that smells like nothing, which is exactly the point.

Born in the rink.
Proven everyday.
In 2008 I played hockey at University of Maryland. My hockey pads made my dorm smell like a locker room. Traditional sprays wrecked my gear or wrecked my skin. So I created a better cleaning spray for sports gear called Vapor Fresh. Today, our products are used by gyms, athletes, families and teams nationwide.
FAQs
My gear already smells bad. Will this fix it or just cover it?
It fixes it. Gear odor comes from sweat, body oils and grime that build up in padding and fabric over time. Vapor Fresh cleans that buildup out instead of perfuming over it. There's no synthetic fragrance in the bottle, only a light essential oil scent that fades as your gear dries. For gear that's been bad for a while, spray it liberally on all sides and let it dry completely. Repeat for the first few uses, and after that a quick spray after each session keeps it fresh. Remember, keeping your gear fresh is all about prevention, so use Vapor Fresh early and often.
What can I spray this on?
It works on pretty much anything that gets sweaty and can't go in the wash. That includes hockey, football and lacrosse pads, helmets, boxing and MMA gloves, shin guards, skates, cleats, shoes, gym bags and yoga mats. It also cleans home gym equipment like benches, dumbbells, kettlebells, spin bikes and treadmills. On those, spray and wipe dry with a towel. For screens and electronics, spray the towel instead of the equipment.
Does this replace washing my gear?
For gear that can't go in the wash, like helmets, gloves, skates and most pads, this is how you wash it. Jerseys, base layers and anything else that's machine washable should still be laundered. Use Vapor Fresh between washes on pads that only get a deep clean once or twice a season.
Will it stain or discolor light-colored gear?
It shouldn't. The formula is water-based and contains no dyes, bleach or alcohol, and it dries clear without a sticky or slippery residue. It's used every day on white helmets, light-colored pads and gloves. As with any cleaner, spot test a hidden area first on leather, suede or specialty materials.
Can I use my gear the same day I spray it?
Yes! We only recommend air drying purely for comfort because nobody likes putting on wet sports pads. A light mist on gloves or a helmet dries quickly, while heavily saturated pads take longer. The easiest routine is to spray your gear right use and leave it out of the bag to air dry, so it's ready for your next session. Avoid sealing damp gear in a closed bag, which is where gear odor starts.
How is this different from other sports gear sprays?
Most sprays either mask odor with heavy synthetic fragrance or rely on harsh chemicals that were never meant to sit against your skin for hours. Vapor Fresh is plant-based and powered by four real essential oils: Ho Wood, Tea Tree, Lavender and Eucalyptus. It contains no quats, alcohol, ammonia, bleach or synthetic fragrance, and every ingredient is listed on the bottle. It was created by a hockey player in 2008, it has been tested on the toughest gear in sports and it has more than 5,900 reviews on Amazon.
