I had a cooler that smelled realy bad on the inside. Someone told me to stuff it full of crumbled up newspaper for a couple of weeks. Sounds odd but it worked on that.

I don't know if you get Field and Stream magazine, but in one they told you how to make a homeade scent killer spray. You could soak it in that for a couple weeks. Try searching it on http://fieldandstream.com.

Wash it with some scent killer soap. Air dry it outdoors. When it dries spray down to the point it's wet with some scent killer. Double check that rubbemaid container you store it in. Many times they can stink worse than anything. Plastics do give off an odor. Some more than others. If you're using a prusic rope or something that could be your stink too if it's new. I didn't see your last post before I posted this. From what you describe, I bet it's the container.
For those suggesting that I soak it for a couple days. I first soaked it in Atsko sortwash and water then threw it in the dryer. This did nothing to get rid of the smell. I then soaked it in dead down wind for a couple days and then hung it on my back porch. Didn't seem to do much to eliminate the odor either.

Scott - how about soaking it in baking soda and water for a couple of days?
OR
You can make a very good paste using the baking soda and just a touch of water or store bought peroxide - brush it into the fabric and let it set. After a day or two run it through the wash.
If baking soda won't work then nothing will.
I would not soak your vest in scent killer as the peroxide in that stuff could bleach the vest out dramatically.

I never thought about baking soda...... That sounds like a great idea.
I'm on it

Scott, if that pattern was indeed silk screened on the mesh, most of those inks are UV cured....I know you said you've kept it outside, but have you let it hang in the sun a couple of days......Maybe curing that ink a little more would help.

Im pretty sure it got quite a bit of sun on my porch over the fall and winter up until a couple weeks ago. It isn't an enclosed porch and I had it hanging near the end of a rafter.
