I've never been one to skimp on my bowhunting needs, but I just ran a quick errand into a Walmart and was shocked to see that 24 ounces of HS Scentaway laundry detergent was just shy of $10.50... I walked across the store to the grocery section and picked up a 2-lb. box of Arm & Hammer baking soda: $1.12. I've never used it to wash my clothes with, but I seem to recall many doing so over the years on the forums... How's your success with it been?
I did for many many years. Always seemed to work fine The (Atsko?) sportwash that walmart usually carries is really cheap & is what I've been using the last 3-4 years.
I've never tried it....but I bought all my scent free stuff at the end of last season when Wally World put it all on clearance. SB
i never tried it either but i have the same bottle i bought of scent soap from last yr... about a 1/4 left... i know i dont hunt as often as yall but im personally gonna stick with it. how much baking soda do you end up using???
Greg I've been using it for a couple of years with good results. I also use Arm&Hammer scent free deodorant. Half the price of H.S. and same ingredients listed on the label.
Baking soda, I get it at costco real cheap big bags.. wash all my clothing in it, I do mix in the Scent killer NO UV laundry soap. Arm and hammer deoderant, very cheap compared to the name brand stuff, works great too.
I wash my hunting/bowfishing clothes with baking soda added. (I also use an enzyme cleaner with the bowfishing clothes/towels to eat away the fish slime/blood) It's funny that HS sells it for so much. I saw some 'fletch wipes' that just looked like alcohol prep pads but cost waaaay more. If they can sell it, the more power to 'em.
I have never used anything other than baking soda with my hunting clothes. No complaints from this hunter here.
