Default Homemade scent killer

I'd like to mix up some scent killer but am having troubles finding the correct hydrogen peroxide. What brand of peroxide are you guys using and where did you buy it?

I just made some with regular stuff from WM, but I haven't used it yet so I can't really tell you if it works or not.

I agree with cougars. I never knew you could make your own scent killer. Peroxide?? I'd be afraid of it bleaching out my camo?

id like to know the recipe
I've been doing it for many years, works real good !

Ingredients for Scent Killer:[/b]
[/b]
16 oz. (2 cups) Peroxide ( yes, I use the brown bottled stuff)[/b]
[/b]
16 oz. (2 cups) Distilled Water[/b]
[/b]
ΒΌ cup baking soda[/b]
[/b]
1 oz. On non-scented shampoo (I use Hunters Specialties green shampoo)[/b]
[/b]
(Or adjust amounts to whatever size you make accordingly)[/b]
[/b]
Let sit for several days (1 gallon milk jug works good with lid loose)[/b][/b]
[/b]
Here an idea for some scent free 'baby wipes'... [/b]
[/b]
mix up a batch of scent killer as per instructions above...[/b]
[/b]
take a roll of heavy duty paper towels (Bounty, Scott, etc..not the 49 cent cheapies) [/b]
[/b]
cut the roll in half with an electric knife so you have 2 short rolls of paper towels(don't try a regular knife... it doesn't work). Pull the cardboard tube from the middle of the half roll [/b]
[/b]
Find a rubbermaid or tupperware container big enough to hold the 1/2 roll of paper towels (and with a good sealed lid). [/b]
[/b]
Put one of the 1/2 rolls of paper in the container, pour in the scent killer, let the wipes soak up the scent killer, keep covered tight so they don't dry out. Because the inner cardboard tube is out, pull the paper towels out the from the middle like a kleenex! [/b]
[/b]
I put a certain amount of wipes in a zip lock bag and take them with me all the time. [/b]
[/b]

This might be a dumb question, but Why use Hydrogen Peroxide???[&:]
What benefit does it give the solution?

Hydrogen Peroxide kills the odor causing bacteria.
