RE: Baking Soda questions.....
I bought 3 big boxes of the stuff, last night, Matt. Heck....it's cheap!
I just never knew how people use dit in their routines. I may try your approach, also. Will probably use it in my boots as well.

RE: Baking Soda questions.....
We've always used baking soda in the wash for our hunting clothes, just add about a cup in the load and we hand dry weverything outside. Sprinkle some in the boots occasionally as well. Nothing special, nothing tricky.

RE: Baking Soda questions.....
I wash all my clothes (not scent loc) In baking soda a couple times a year and let them line dry! Before I wash them I run a few cycles of water and and a whole box of baking soda threw my washer to eliminate any odors in there. Then when done I wash my clothes I use 1 big box of soda for a full load of clothes and line dry!

RE: Baking Soda questions.....
I have used baking soda to wash clothes as well. I don't get it when people sprinkle it on their close or spray it. Isn't the baking soda supposed to absorb the odor? Therefore, wouldn't the odor still be on you, just attached to the baking soda instead? Or does the baking soda actually neutralize the odor?
Anywhoo, I tried the do it yourself scent killer recipe and I have a few thoughts. First, no matter how hard I try to stir, shake, etc. , the baking soda never fully dissolves and sits on the bottom of the spray bottle. Clogs the bottle up and seems to leave a white residue on things I spray it on. So I have abandoned it. Also, when making it, I was originally going to use some unscented scent killer shampoo, until I noticed that there were several dyes in it. Did any of them contain UV brighteners? Not sure. So I left it out. It's mainly supposed to be to make it a little thicker and adhere better anyway.

RE: Baking Soda questions.....
I have a big tote with all my hunting clothes in it. I wash them with scent eliminator and then dry them. Put them in the tote and sprinkle a liberal amount of baking soda in there. I put a bunch at the bottom and then on the top of the clothes. It works pretty good as far as I can tell. Ive never been able to ask the deer if they can smell me yet, because they usually arent talkin when they get into range!!!
