i never have used the warshin machine and dryer on mine..i alwaz hand wash it in a cooler or tub with the scent lok soap and air dry in a tree . the soap will make your hands swell up, but i cant justify puttin it in the washin machine where we wash everything else.
as fer stikin together, sounds almost ruined, maybe call scentlok and ask them.
btw i have had deer 8 feet from me down wind and not catch my scent...he (the buck) was a lil dude, but he didnt even flinch when he walked by...and he stayed awhile....i also had a doe at 40 yards downwind and i realized she caught my breath, when she looked i stopped breathin and she continued to eat while i breathed very slowly out my nose in my scent lok face and head cover!!
this stuff works better than not havin it....
