Default Which Scent Eliminator?

I was just wondering what everyone uses for a scent away spray. I have had good luck with the Wildlife Research 99% spray. But a friend of mine is trying to convince me to switch to Dead Down Wind. Just trying to get some more opinions.

Thanks,
Kash

I voted for the silver xp....a friend of mine had some and we did the cup test. Poured some deer urine in the cup with a few cottonballs in the bottom. Sprayed with with silver xp and from what we could tell it competely eliminted the smell. Really impressive and anyone can try it for themselves.

No I haven't tried it with any other scent eliminator though.

Deer and Deer Hunter did a test on all the top selling scent elimination sprays and found that Wildlife Research 99% Scent Killer eliminated the most human scent. Here is a link to the research: http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/ar...it-your-scent/

Baking soda in the rinse cycle will adsorb more odors cheaper than anything else, especially if you air dry the clothing. Silver XP is just ordinary peroxide based scent killer with added colloidal silver, you can make colloidal silver at home for around $.08 per gallon with simple equipment.

I used all Silver XP products last year with outstanding results. I'll definitely be using them again this year.

I don't know about the others but I've used both the Wildlife research and the dead down wind. Here in Florida we worry about bugs in the house so the kitchen garbage can is kept in the garage. On more than one occasion "liquid garbage" has leaked from the bag into the can and went unnoticed until the garage started stinking to high heaven. Forget using Fabreeze, either of those products kill the odor immediately. I don't think what brand you use as long as you use something, we hunt in hot weather down here so its used often.

Do these sprays have any sort of expiration date? Because I was wanting to use some for this year that is left over from last year.
