Thread: Washing hunting clothes. (Real men can scroll on past)

Hey just wondered what everyone uses for washing hunting clothes?

I used to use a liquid soap which apparently had no UV brightners, (which supposedly make your clothes more visible to deer) and it was non scented, which l prefer.
I only used a half cap for a typical load, so it lasted for ever.
Actually not forever, because I’ve run out, and it doesn’t seem to be on the market any more. I don’t want to use our general household detergent which promises the brightest whites.

Interested to hear what you’re using.

Cheers M

Same stuff the rest of my clothes are washed with. Don’t buy into the marketing, it’s a waste of money.

+1

Don't use anything other than water, there's no need.

Just whatever the rest of our stuff at home is being washed with.

Some type of sportswash I got from a hunting shop, when I can be bothered/remember.
Otherwise just the usual Persil.

+1 for the throwing it in with the normal stuff. Have heard that baking soda is worth a crack if your that worried about it

I used to use this





I was told it was the only stuff to use and I shot bugger all deer.

Now into the Miele washing machine with their detergent, clothes come out bright, smell great and I have never shot so many deer.

Just chuckem in the wash, the deer won't know the difference.

Yeah, thats the stuff I sometimes use. GC and H&F both sell it, as does Gunworks

I put mine in the magic basket and then they appear in the other magic basket in our spare room.

I at least make it easy for the magic basket by throwing on the floor by the chest of draws, then the only have to move 2 feet into the draw.

Dishwashing liquid and hot/warm water

Gets the fat out of your clothes from carrying fatty legs/backsteaks

+1 for the dishwashing liquid. I put a scoop of Baking soda in as well. I have tested the UV brightener effect on farm deer and they see and react to the difference, wild deer - sit in sight of them with no brighteners and then put a UV brightened piece of clothing on and the bastards will see you straight away. UV brighteners are a newish thing that weren't around back when everyone was bushstalking only
