Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 My son just got his STARband on Friday and I am wondering if the helmets eventually start to smell bad. I would imagine they do since they sweat in them for 23 hours a day but I was still holding out some hope. I vigorously clean it with alcohol everytime it is removed. Has anyone had experience with this and are there any suggestions to keep it as fresh as possible?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Heidi, Some people have success drying the bands in the sun. My kids were never banded in sunny weather so I didn't get this opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 - Did your kids stink? I am just wondering. Unfortunately, I work full-time, so the 1 hour my son would get a day would be in the evening after I pick him up from daycare so I won't have the advantage of the sun either.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Heidi Hi. Mu daughter Isabelle just got her STARband almost 3 weeks ago and after about 5 days hers started to smell. Our ortho told us we could use Febreeze after I clean it with alcohol. That works great for me. It hasn't smelled bad since.
