I hand wash mine with cold water and scent free hunting soap. I then hang them out to dry outside and vaccum pack them once they are completely dry. I dress outside and try to stay as scent free as possible.

Does it work? I don't know, is it worth it to bring in that buck maybe!

I use cold water and wash by hand to the camo keeps it's color longer.

I wash mine before every hunt. You washed them last year and you want to know if they need washed. I'd hate to see the end of one of your Q-tips

If they have been shut up since last year I'd wash them again.

I wash mine after every hunt. Just recently I started washing them in baking soda which I got from a thread here. I wash them in it then hang them on the line for a couple days. After that I usually put them in my bag with some dirt wafers. Seems to work for me.

wash them in downy trust me!
