    Not sure where to post this so here it is. Took my 7 yr old hunting for the first time this last weekend. Bless her heart she did so good despite not seeing a thing for 3 hrs. She had her snacks and we played "I spy". Well i took her sour patch gummies and put them in my pocket cause the package was just too loud. You already know where this is going. So i decide to do a huge load of camo laundry as most of my suits needing it. Threw two scent lok suits in dryer with washed load on High for a long time High heat... EVERYTHING covered in sour patch watermelon gummies... HAHAHA all i can do is laugh but does anyone know some good tricks to get stuff like that out? Idk what to do.

    I did the same thing with a roll of Halls cough drops a couple years ago. I ended up just throwing the stuff in the washer a half dozen times and everything is good now.

    I'm not laughing at you...I'm laughing with you. Gummies are just gelatin and sugar, right? Maybe just wash a couple times with hot water and lots of detergent. Pre-soak might help too. I like the All unscented.

    I think deer are attracted to watermelon gummies.

    I've always had good luck using OxiClean to get stuff out. Never used it on sour patch kids before, but I think it's worth a try and might cut down on the number of times you have to wash it.

    Haven't done that, but I washed my stick of Evercalm with my hunting clothes last week. Can imagine that hurt anything other than destroying a $20 stick of Evercalm.

    I would just pick off what you could and re wash.

    Just to add try using a hair dryer to warm it up. May come off easier

    No idea if it will work but i have thrown a can of coke in the washer to help get grease stains out. Have to wash it a second time just to get everything but it worked for that. Good luck either way. That sucks

    If it is not sticky and exter washing does not help live with it and remember her hunt.

    I would bring the whole load to a laundry mat, they have the big industrial washers , run it thru a few times with the above suggested detergents and you should be good.

    Try soaking it in buck urine. I hear it works wonders.
