Default Laundry. Again.

You guys post up your laundry routine and how you store your hunting duds after washing/drying. How many hunts out of one washing? Wash everything every time?

Thanks, Leroy the Tomkat

DDW wash.....dry in the dryer with an earth scent sheet.....store in large sealed plastic bags.

I don't wash unless I sweat in them. Early season.....that's likely every hunt (most garments). This time of year? Every 10 hunts (or so).....or if I sweat in them. They're always stored in sealed, plastic bags, though.

What kind of sealable bags are you using Jeff?

Do the drier sheets make the clothes smell as strong as those scent wafers?

I wash my under layers frequently, probably every 3 times I wear them. If I can, i'll line dry them outside for a day or so. Then, its into my plastic tubs with earth wafers and a box of baking soda. My outer layers I'll wash twice during season. Once before season and usually about the 3rd week in October.

I was using the Scent Killer laundry detergent but am done using it. It left a funky smell in my clothes if I sweat in them at all. Hard to explain.
The best stuff I've ever used is the Sport Wash stuff. I don't know what it is about it, but it seems to clean the best and leave your clothes smelling clean and scentless when your done. Good stuff.

LT...Lisa picked me up some bags ( I think they're 10 gallon) at the grocery store. They seal like a sandwich bag.

No....the clothes don't come out smelling like a strong earth scent wafer. Kinda mild, actually.

Just curious, but is this not kinda defeating the purpose?

I am having the same issue. Same detergent. It is out the door.

Jeff, I used some of those bags last year and they seemed to leak odors through the plastic. Maybe just me being too paranoid.

Keep it coming guys. I would like to hear from some old timers too.

Who uses Baking Soda and plain water and line drying? If so, where/how do you store afterward?

LT....I froze a bunch of shrimp in water in one. It didn't leak when it was half-filled with water/shrimp. That's all I needed.
