Hi all.
thought i would share a bit of information, and i don't recall seeing this one on the site before. in an earlier post, a funky smelling G-1 that was/is my favorite. i tried airing it out in severe heat (on the Arabian peninsula summer), lots of exposure in direct sunlight in addition to the heat.
i also thought about what someone here described--that (most) odors were caused by bacteria. the sun and heat got about 70% of the odors. i wondered then about freezing them, thinking that prolonged freezing temps should be pretty lethal to bacteria.
i didn't know for sure but tried it. made a place for the said jacket in my freezer section. left the jacket in for 2-3 days. seems to have done the trick. re-froze it a couple of times and odors seem to be gone.
