Organizing sports gear

　　For children playing different sports, have gym bags in different colors for each sport—basketball gets green, soccer gets red, baseball gets blue. __1__ As for what to do with the soccer ball or baseball bat that comes home, keep items contained to one spot in the garage. Overhead shelves and nets work well for out－of－season items, too. They are out of the way but still in sight.

　　Cleaning sports gear

　　Most items can go in the washing machine. Use warm water, and always air－dry. For padded items with plastic, put them in a mesh laundry washing bag or a pillow case with a zipper. __2__

　　●Gym bags

　　__3__ It's body odor. You played soccer, or basketball, or fencing, and you sweat. Prevent odor from building up by putting used fabric softener sheets in the bag, or spraying the inside of the bag with aerosol deodorant. This also works well for padded helmets, where sweat gathers.

　　●Water bottles

　　Water bottles often get a moldy, damp smell after a sports season or two. If you have really cleaned it, if you've used a scrub brush, you may have scratched the plastic. __4__ Try using vinegar, which is safe and environmentally friendly, to kill mold and mildew.

　　●Hats

　　The easiest way to clean a baseball cap is to put it in the dishwasher. Then take it out and air－dry it. If you want to make sure the cap keeps a rounded shape, dry it over a coffee can. __5__ Another option is to use shampoo, which is designed to break down body oil.
