How do I do this?
 
OK....I am sitting here thinking as my hunting clothes are in the wash......How do I de-stink the dryer? I have no fresh earth sheets or anything, but I was thinking of putting some baking soda in a sock and letting it run about 10 minutes....

What do ya'll do?

Stuff it full of scent - Lok clothing, and turn it on , and let it absorb the smells, then you can safely dry your hunting clothes.

God Bless

If I have the opportunity, I will hang my stuff outside. If not I will go ahead and not worry about it. Dry away but do clean the lint trap. I think this is where the Florida people do have an adavantage because many have their drier's on the back porch.

Sprinkle a little deer urine in the dryer before you dry them











Just kidding:D

When out of dryer sheets, I either dry outside or dry them with nothing and store them in a plastic tote. Then later, when I get some more earth scented sheets, I just put one in the tote. Actually, I think the earth scent is a little stronger, on my clothes, when I just put a sheet in the tote as compared to putting one in the dryer.

I wash mine in regular detergent and dry them in the dryer just as I do any other load of laundry. I don't bother worrying about it, where I hunt, the deer smell vented laundry smells every day. It obviously doesn't alarm them. I grabbed my clothes out of the dryer this morning and literally had monster bucks all over the dang place.

I think it depends more on where you hunt and what scents the deer are accustomed to.

Yep, you need to reactivate that carbon suit now and then anyway, this is a great opportunity.

Don't own carbon clothing. Sold it last year. So what is plan B?

Air dry outside if possible.

I never dry any clothing in a dryer. It wears it out, fades it, and shrinks it. LINE DRY ONLY; especially that expensive enigma.

Guys, I understand the line drying thing....but it's like frickin rainin cats and dogs here right now.....

I'm talking specifically about the dryer......

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! clean the lint trap close the door and you will find you cloths smell a lot like earth scent if you use earth scent detergent. It's not a big deal.

HCH, trust me that Enigma shows no signs of wear at all and I always dry mine in the dryer. And I was and dry mine about every other day. I always dry my hunting clothes on the lowest setting in the dryer, yes it takes longer but they don't shrink that way.

This year I had to put a stop to my wife using Dryel (That home dry cleaning system for your dryer) in the dryer. Man that stuff stinks.[:'(]I made sure she stopped using it a month in advance, but i also use earth scented dryer sheets when i'm drying my stuff. But if you don't have any of that I would say just air dry them outside. Or maybe take some leaves and twigs and stuff and put it in an old sock and throw that in the dryer. I've never tried that but hey it couldn't hurt could it?

If I can't line dry my camo, I just throw a hand full of dry dirt clags and shave off a few cedar cips off a cedar branch (just try and shave off the outer layers so you done get any sap in there)and run the dryer.

I think the baking soda in the sock will work

I put baking soda in the dryer. Do that and then smell it when it gets dry!! You won't. Make sure you use ARM & Hammer.
