RE: washing clothes
While we're on the subject of washing, how about washing soft gear?
I put my harness in the wash with the rest of the stuff, along with my harness bag, straps, fanny pack, back pack, turkey vest, and even my tree stand seats to get the farts out of them.
I found a mesh bag and I throw some of the "Strappy" stuff in there so they don't get all tangled up in the spin cycle.
