It's embarrassing, but I just can't help it - after years of overuse, I have a very funky booty. 
And the smell is killing all related activities. No one wants ride to the beach in my car because the junk in my trunk reeks of dead skunk.
Even my little daughter held her nose and said "Daddy you booty is stinky!"
So my question to my DB friends is: How do you get the funk outta your trunk, and get your booty unstunk?
The problem started with a slow month at work, combined with good diving conditions, and good surf; all in 100f/38c air temperatures, with the car parked outside. This meant that all of my gear lived (and fermented) in the trunk of my car for nearly a month. I did my best to rinse everything properly after each session, but nothing ever quite dried out. Eventually I popped open the trunk and :hungover :yack. Fortunately, the suits just needed a good washing with some wetsuit wash I got at my local surf shop. The booties were washed three times, but they retained their funk!
They dried out on the patio for almost a week, before I used them yesterday and this morning. And on my way to work this morning, up crept the familiar funky booty scent. I'm beginning to think that the only cure will be a mixture of bleach and incineration.
All that to ask: is there something that will kill the funk / bacteria / mold that has taken over my beloved booties? Or should I call the Hazmat team?
