I tried using baking soda and also found that my camo would fade quickly, too. I now use the sportswash you can find at Walmart in the hunting section. This will be my 3rd season using it and my camo looks good as new. One bottle of the stuff has lasted me this long. I usually wash my stuff only 2-3 times per season. I keep them in a large rubbermaid container between hunts.
