I have tried washing in hot water with Oxyclean, Trizyme (Amway product), and vinegar. It still reeks. Help! Do I need to wash it in chlorox? And if I do that, how do you neutralize it so it doesn't eat the cotton? These things are really thick canvas and cost quite a bit. Thanks!

I played hockey for several years and my pads were so nasty that I could barely put them on for a game! I finally started carrying a bottle of Febreeze in my bag and sprayed them AFTER each game. My pads didn't even have a hint of an odor. You'd have to get your husband to actually USE the Febreeze though - just being in his bag isn't enough!!!
Good luck!
