Quick Answer
Most hunting apparel can be washed with regular laundry, but it's recommended to separate heavily soiled items and follow specific washing techniques to prevent damage and preserve scent-free performance.
Separating Heavily Soiled Items
When washing hunting apparel, separate heavily soiled items from regular clothing. This includes items that have been exposed to mud, blood, or other organic materials. Washing these items separately will prevent the spread of dirt and stains to other clothes. For heavily soiled items, consider using a laundry detergent specifically designed to remove tough stains and odors.
Washing Techniques
When washing hunting apparel, use a cold water setting and a mild laundry detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric and compromise the scent-free performance of the apparel. For washing machine cycles, use a gentle cycle with a spin speed of 800 RPM or lower. This will help prevent damage to the fabric and preserve the scent-free performance of the apparel.
Drying and Storage
After washing, remove the hunting apparel from the dryer while it’s still slightly damp. Hang the apparel to air dry, or tumble dry on a low heat setting. When storing the apparel, avoid folding or creasing the fabric, as this can cause wrinkles and damage to the scent-free technology. Instead, hang the apparel in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
