Have a lot of camo i need to wash, i was given a huge bottle of "All" degerent. It is the no scent - free of toxins for allergies and such. Was wondering if anyone was against this basked on the fact i have heard it leaves some type of "UV lights" on clothes that wildlife can see...tell me im not crazy and this would be okay? Thanks fellas.

Regular soap has UV brighteners which is incompatible with camo. Seventh Generation laundry soap doesn't have UV brighteners and is what my daughter uses for her ACUs.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

Soak overnight in tap water, then rinse the blood and sweat out and let them dry in the sun. You should be good to go.
