What do you wash your hunting clothes with?

I use the same thing, sport wash. They also have one with UV-inhibitors, or maybe it is in the same bottle.

Another vote for Sport Wash.

Reasonably priced and evidently effective.

I'm of the school that believes you can't completely fool a deer's nose.

But you can greatly reduce your odor, and Sport Wash seems to do that for your clothes.

For bathing, I use PhisoDerm or glycerin soap ... they seem to be the most scent-free.

Of course, you can use various sporting Body Washes, but they are much more expensive.

Hi Folks..

I have been associated with WILDLIFE RESEARCH CENTER and ttheir products for about 15 years nows. hey have ALWAYS treated me respectfully and their products WORKS!!

Wash your clothes in Sportwash, then after hang drying, put them in the dryer with Arm and Hammer Baking Soda and set it on "no heat tumble". After I shower, I apply a liberal amount of baking soda to my groin, underarms and hair. Oops, reverse the order in those steps

, hair, armpit, "then" the groin

. I also take an extra shirt to my stand in a large ziplock bag, change and then put the "sweaty" shirt in the ziplock bag

. "Forget the wind, just hunt" BULL. You can if you want to but you'll be at the line at your local "Hunter's for the Hungry" cooler trying to score on some venison

i use plain ol arm & hammer baking powder, an old plastic 1/2 cup measuring scoop for each wash....walmart has a 2lb box of it in the house hold chemicals section the size of a box of pancake mix for under 3.00 bucks that lasts over 2 years for me.............bob

I've been using sport wash, then use UV inhibitors as well. I use glycerin soap as well.

What I do different for cover up, is boil down cedar branches and make my own cover sent with the liquid.

Same here - SportWash, hang dry, use those HUGE ZipLock bags to store and transport (I like to see what's in them). I use a bar of hunter soap (lasts two of use several seasons), and I use unscented deodorant.

Before I wash my clothes I run a cycle of just baking soda in the washing machine and I take out the softener unit to help reduce scent transfer.

I keep all my de-scented clothes in a couple of those huge ZipLocks - right down to mitts, socks, undies, bra. I also spray my backpack and hang it out on the line to minimize odors. (Don't want it to smell like the awesome deer stew we had last night

)

I use the sport wash and hang to dry outside. Once they are dry I seal them into a plastic tote with a few cedar/birch/hardwood brows on the bottom~!

Cheers,
Robin

Ive tried a bunch of these make you disappear. Powders,liquids,sprays,and I must say they all seem to work as long as the breeze or wind is in one direction. If the wind starts to swirl around from every direction your hunt is just about over. I've done some trapping, hipwaders,rubber gloves no human scent or strange smells at all. Rubber is your freind hunt in a wetsuit. Just my opinion when the wind is wrong its wrong I don't think you rid yourself of all scent.

I use non-allergenic laundry detergent. Its $6 for a big jug and it has zero scent and is not hard on your hunting gear. Thats all that wildlife research and gimmick soaps like that are. I wear a scent blocker suit (put in dryer to activate carbon before each use) and put it in a tupperware container with 3 scent wafers from hunters specialties when not in use. I have been downwind to deer many times and been busted less times then I fool them.
