Default Hunting Clothes in Dryer???

Hi,
Just wondering for those of you who wash you clothes in scent free laundry detergent. Is it ok to dry them in the dryer (without a dryer sheet) or does it defeat the purpose?

I myself do it all the time hadn't had any problems yet. Just spray down good with cover-up scent.

I do it. I have no where to hang outside. I do all prior dries with a bounce free and clear though as not to have it stinky for my hunting clothes

Mine are in the dryer as we speak. You shouldn't have any probs. IF you're using scent-lok...the dryer is supposed to re-activate the carbon.

Air dry or dryer...either way you should be good. As the other guy said...spray down with the scent-killer spray before you put em on and you're good.

You should be fine. I agree, if you just dry them with nothing else in the dryer, make sure you spray them down. I have done that many times. Good luck.

I am a big air dry guy and I leave them out for days but I may change my mind. I packed the clothes in the bin and I am at my hunting "camp" right now but I had four spiders in my clothes and it has freaked me out. They will be in the drier tonight!
