Do we have any gym go-ers here? I’ve been a regular for a long time, but the gym has always been so close to my house that I’ve never needed a gym bag for clothes. About two months ago I started going to gym closer to where I work, which means I need to carry a gym bag now. Which also means I don’t like the smell of my gym bag.

So, what do I do when when I have a problem? I usually DIY a fix for it and this is no exception. You know those scent booster beads you can buy in a laundry section at the grocery store? Turns out, they make a great freshener for your smelly gym bag, too!

Gym bag air freshener supplies

• small gift bag
• fabric scent boost beads

Step 1: prepare your scent boosters

Fill the cap about halfway full with beads.

Step 2: Pour in the scent beads

Pour your capful of scent boosters into the bag. Pull the ribbons on each side to close the bag.

Make sure you tie them together tightly. You don’t want them to spill out in your bag. That wouldn’t be fun to clean up.

That’s it! Plop your new air freshener in your bag and you’re done.

Mine was in my bag for 5 mins before I stopped smelling anything else. I’m convinced that this works long term. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Or do you have a better DIY air freshener? Please share if so.

Happy crafting!
