Best way to clean slings/saddles

[kyler1945]

How are you guys cleaning and washing sit drags, saddles, etc?

How do we get the sweat out, without stretching or weakening webbing and straps?

I have put mine in a mesh laundry bag and put on washer on delicate cycle.

I have also filled up a five gallon bucket and added detergent. Put saddle in then let soak for an hour while agitating for a little bit every 5-10 minutes.

I just add another strap on my aiders and get higher!
Actually, I'll be following this one.
I talked to John Eberhart a couple years ago and IIRC, he rotates a couple of his sling seats while he washes others.
As for me, I just hunt...

Make sure if your washing things to let them dry well....preferably air dry. Same with ropes!!

Hand wash in scentfree soap and air dry.

The evolution has a padded waist belt and leg straps so I am not sure that submerging it in water is such a great idea. I typically just spray mine down before I walk out to hunt, but before the season this year, I may try and spot clean it with a wash rag and scent free soap to get any surface odor off. I dk, curious to see what others do.

In for responses... was wondering this too...

air dry for sure.. the only things that are going to hurt that saddle is extreme heat or leaving it out in the sun too long (like for a month straight or more. That will weaken any nylon or anything made of a fabric).

Weak solutions of hydrogen peroxide won't hurt it either and will oxidize the organics from body oils etc etc. scent free detergents, listed above should be good as well.
