Mildew Stench from the hardbag

I love everything about this Fut except the moldy smell, stench really, coming from the R/H hardbag.

It's already infused the stench in my day-planner, which I threw in there on my way to the title office, and I don't want to ruin any gear, clothes, etc. that I need to put in there.

Has anyone ever had such an issue with, say, a Givi or similar hardbag?

I tried the Lysol bath with no results.

Re: Mildew Stench from the hardbag

You might mix up a mild solution of bleach and water and mist it down, then let it air out. Be sure to do that after you have used a mild detergent (like dish soap) to wash it down. Get it clean, kill the remaining mold, then it air out so you just don't substitute steches.

Good luck with it.

Pee in it. The scent of uirne ought to cover it up.

or park it in front of a biker bar and ask one of the exiting patrons to puke on it. The mold smell will disappear immediately . . .
