Default treestand stinks

I went out Friday and got in my stand while it was a drizzle. It then started pouring down and I got soaked as well as my razor x5. Since I drive a blazer, I keep it in the backseat. It is dry now but man does it stink. Like some bad BO or stinky shoes. Im not too sure spraying it with the fresh earth spray will totally eliminate the smell. Any ideas on how to rid my stand of this stinch?

I've had a similar odor with my API stand. I took everything off and handwashed it all in unscented soap. Then I hung it out to dry.

You probably have a bad case of mildew from leaving it in the truck wet , good luck getting the smell out , or just use it as a cover scent .

I agree about taking off of the cloth pieces and washing them in scent eliminating products before airing out and reinstalling.
