    It is all I use for my bow hunting clothing. I kill lots of stuff...works for me.

    I don't like the residue from baking soda....and for some reason I can smell it a little. I have used it before and will use it again in a pinch, but other than that I use other stuff.

    For many, many years I used it. Seemed to work just fine.
    But it's just much "cooler" now to use the fancy scent free laundry wash.

    I use the scent free soap with the UV killer and rinse in Baking Soda.

    It's better cause it's cheaper and does the trick

    This is my first year with unscented detergents with UV Killer. I usually use plain water and store my clothes in a sealed bag with a few leaves and what not. That has worked in the past, but I hope the detergent works out this year.

    I use baking soda combined with Scent Killers UV wash. Air dry everything outside, spray it down thoroughly with Scent Killer. Air dry it again, then put it in a sealed tote.
