Steps
- Use a laundry detergent marketed to the hunting fraternity. For example, there is one such product called "Scent Away" but you should be able to find others by searching the internet. A detergent such as this removes any and all odors from hunters' clothing in order that animals are less able to detect the scent of a hunter.
- Try a quarter cup of the relevant detergent, one scoop of an oxygen bleach preparation available at supermarkets and your usual fabric softener.
- Wash.
- Put the clothes in the dryer and dry as usual. The heat will draw out any other odors left in the clothing. You can also throw in a scented bag (the sort you leave in drawers) to add a sweeter odor to the clothing and air around the laundry.
Tips
- Possibly also try vinegar and/or bicarbonate of soda if you cannot get hold of such a detergent as suggested here.
