Is your laundry detergent helping deer see you more easily?

I use the detergents for baby clothes. No extra or harsh chemicals and no perfumes. Seems to work pretty well.

Same here, it is way cheaper than the stuff branded for hunting, which pretty much do the same thing.

I think it's spelled Atsko. To me it worked better than the name brand hunting detergents. A bottle will last me close to 2 seasons so biggie.

The one exception would be the green soap, you know, the liquid stuff sold to hunters. That stuff is truly amazing. I can clean fish and with my hands truly rank, use a little of the green soap. All scent gone. No idea what's in it, but that stuff really works.

Free & clear I think is what most of them say. That's all I've used for all my clothes for years.

Found the info on how they came up with the clothing line Sitka sells that fades you in so a deer doesn't see a big blob moving.

It's a little expensive, but @REN said yesterday he has some 40% off coupons for Sitka.

Yes, but you have to read the ingredients as some say that, but they are not. I had purchased Purex Free and Clear, but later found that while it had no scent and was hypoallergenic, it did have brighteners. This site has some good references for the ones that are good for hunting clothes due to not having any of that stuff.
