Washing footbed?

[vf-x 0]

I religiously remove the footbed from my skates after every use to dry; however, I've noticed there is still a slow growing odour coming from them.

Can I safely put them in the washing machine to wash? If so, should I stick them in a dryer or allow them to air dry?

Has anyone tried this?

Thanks,

Ray

Which footbeds are they?

I'd probably suggest a place with a sani-sport machine rather than washing them yourself.

I follow what Superfeet's website instructs me to do, works like a charm:

Cleaning instructions for your new Superfeet insoles

Hand-wash with a mild soap and lukewarm water to remove light soil. A soft bristle brush (old toothbrush) works well to remove ground-in dirt. Rinse well. Absorb excess water with a soft towel and allow insoles to air dry overnight. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY. DO NOT AIR DRY NEAR A HEAT SOURCE!

Lysol and Sunlight, you need to kill the bacteria. Sani Sport is great if you can find one.

Which footbeds are they?

They're the original ones that come in the Bauer X7.0.

The Sani-sport cleaning process is great. I get my gear cleaned at least once a year in one of those machines & it gets rid of all odor & leaves my gear with a nice clean scent.

Does anyone know of a Sani-Sport cleaner in the Vancouver area?

Here's the locations they list on their website:

There might be more.

I think most Pro Hockey Life locations have them.

I have the original X:60 liners in my skates and they were really bad. I just took them in the shower and really scrubed them down with a bar of irish spring soap. It worked out good enough that people arent disgusted to go near them anymore!

Just wash them in a sink with some soap and water. Let them air dry. Don't put them in a washing machine. There is a good chance the washer will eat them.
