RE: Cleaning arrows after a pass through
I take the broadhead off and clean it thoroughly but the shaft gets a quick rinse. Last fall I had an arrow with a little dried blood on my vanes. I do make it a point to inspect the shaft well for any cracks or splinters (I shoot carbon) more for safety than anything else.

I just use warm soapy water !! With feathers I just hit them with steam after they are about 50- 75% dry ......and they are back as good as new (maybe a little discolored ) !!
I shot 2 or 3 deer and a big racoon with the same arrow/feather fletchings, and broadhead a couple of seasons back......it was kind of cool !!

I just lick em clean then put em back in my Quiver.[:-]
If I don't feel like licking I just retire them for the season like Jeff.
I don't have to worry about cleaning my feathers - shooting the fast light setup I do - my feathers never come close to reaching the blood and passing thru
