Cleaning hunting clothes help

[rosscrazyelk]

Well I have been stumped. I have washed but not dried yet one of my jackets. I leaned up against a burnt tree while hunting and now the stuff wont come off my jacket. I did the conventional washer , then also soaked in the tub with cold water and vinegar and I cannot gt it to come out. Any suggestions?

It's hunting clothes don't worry about it 

[Woodchuck]

I wash in "Simple Green" first, then through regular.

Use the same thing you use to remove your camo fingernail polish and mascara, Nancy.   

[Alchase]

Your supposed to wash them?

Think of it as natural camouflage, LOL

[boneaddict]

That's called natural camo

[jackmaster]

i am with the masses, why worry about it, its huntn clothes and it dont smell and after all that washing if it dont want to come out, it aint coming out

:chuckle:i just spit pop on the computer screen

I have taken a heavy brush with differnet types of soap and scrubbed on some clothes...., but it only works about 50% of the time depending on material the clothes are made of.  As long as I am not rubbing all that soot, dirt, tree sap, clay on the inside of my pickup....i.e. the seat of my pants or back of my shirt, I don't put much effort into it.

yeah I barley wash during hunting season.... but I would say..... ummm it's hunting clothes and if it's black it won't hurt nothing

Post of the day, if not the week!

In all seriousness though - why do you care about a char mark on your hunting coat? Hell I nearly make a concerted effort to get my camo as scuffed up and dirty (with dirt, not my grime) as I can!

If those were a new pair of jeans, they'd charge extra for that. Kinda like paying $100+ for jean with holes in them.   
Don't get it.

[rosscrazyelk]

First off its not camo.  Its on a blaze Orange jacket and i like to keep my stuff nice when i can.  And for the guy who called me Nancy you obviously don't know me. 

[Kittman]

If you really have to remove that wonderful cover scent, just use normal laundry soap with Borax laundry booster added.

Lighten up, Francis. It was a joke.

Francis that burnt stuff on the trees is carbon! You've stumbled onto natural carbon scent control.

Yeah, and removing it would only increase carbon emissions which will piss off Al Gore.

[runamuk]

So its carbon? not pitch?  try simple green it usually works better before washing the other that may work is soaking it in oxi.  Usually I can get charcoal out just soaking in cold water and using dish soap but thats been always before trying any washing.  Warm/hot water sets things like blood carbon grease and then you are kinda hosed.

[Windwalker]

 Well, one way is to bury it - I found that 7 days is minimum 14 days is better- especially for skunk scent..then wash.
Or tie it off and drag it behind the boat for several hours- (in the water, not going down the road on a trailer) also gives clothing that distressed look some pay extra for...

Or take a dab of dish soap, work it in then spray WD-40 over the area. That will remove dam near anything.

Don't call me Shirley..........

[sakoshooter]

Washing machine.

I use to take a black magic marker to all my Blaze orange stuff to add random black spots to it. If I have to wear that gaudy blaze orange I might as well add a touch of breakup so I done look like all the other pumpkins out there with one solid mass of color.
I doubt the critters care one way or the other, but it makes me feel ............. more stealthy,

Hand sanitizers work wonders taking out sticky stuff and dirt on hands and clothing like pitch, glues, paint, ink and the like. Just rub it in slowly and repeat a few times. Not sure how it will work on carbon stain though. Just consider yourself carbon neutral now and free to pollute the woods 

[Alchase]

Nice tip with the hand sanitizer!

[ghosthunter]

Oxy clean

Put it in the washer on soak
Put in oxy clean allow to soak 30 minutes
Than run was cycle.

[ghosthunter]

This will work. Soak 30 min.

hand sanitizer also gets ballpoint pen and other pen marks of formica just like that.  Use caution on walls as it will also strip paint.  accidental janitoring discovery I never use hand sanitizer but the dental clinic had it in the rooms and some spewed on a counter upon wiping it up it removed pen marks I had been fighting for a week.

First time I tried it was after my then 2 year old used a blue ball point pen on our brown micro-suede couch  . My wife's aunt recomended it and it took it right out without damaging the color or fabric of the couch. This was after the ink dried too. Now I try it on everything first before anything else. At least smaller things.
