(HELP) Get B.O. out of hunting clothes!

[dietter700]

I’ve worn my first lite Marino base layers all season from chasing mule deer in September to late season whitetail in PA.

I’ve washed them with the recommended wash a few times. Nothing seems to get the body odor stench out of the arm out region ....

Does anyone have any home remedies? Or even a commercial product to buy. I’ve tried vinegar in the washer and I’ve tried spraying vinegar on the pits and letting them out to hang dry for day or two.

First lite tells you to not wash the Marino more than you have to so I don’t want to wash a wash and wash ...

Thanks in advanced!!

Baking soda or powdered dish detergent.

I've never had a problem with my merino shirts smelling like BO, but for my synthetic ones or blends I use Sport-Wash detergent and baking soda.

Hang them in the garage for a month if you can. that should kill the bacteria that is causing the odor.

Mental note: DO NOT buy used shirts from Dietter off the classifieds!
Sorry, couldnt resist
Have you tried any of the scent killing sprays? Tames down even skunk a bit.

Try Hex detergent

Hunting clothes, dirt bike shorts, wetsuit, doesn't matter. Add a cup of white vinegar and wash. Cold water, gentle cycle is fine.

Put them in direct sunlight for a few days and see if that helps. I bought a sitka wool top from the classified here and it arrived smelling like perfume. I tried most of the things mentioned above to no avail. 3 days hanging outside where it got direct sun, smell gone.

2Toms Stink Free laundry detergent. You can find it at most running stores or the Amazon. They also make a spray, but I have never used it.

What about having some stuff professionally cleaned?

And maybe put some deodorant on during the season?

I've had really good luck with both oxi-clean and borax.

Try rubbing alcohol, the stronger the better. Let it soak over night. You have to kill the bacteria that is causing the odor. Works great on shoes and boots if you do it when they first start to smell.

chlorhexidine gluconate

Borax , my wife uses it on my stinky sweaty gym clothes

 

[MarlinMark]

Borax + Tide Free (white box)

X3 on the Borax
If that doesn’t work.......toss em.

Works great for preserving turkey fans.
