Collar pads

[Marshall]

How do those of you who use deer hair pads clean them? Can you thow them in the washing machine if your wife will allow it? I figure it can’t be too difficult, but I don’t want to ruin them.

Get around the wife or anyone else. Look for a used washer on the cheep and set it up in the barn. Works great for blankets, towels, collar pads and any thing else that may get you shot… Joshua

Sounds like a good job for the old wringer washer that has been taking up space in the shed. Thanks!

I am the wife: anything really nasty gets washed two or three times before drying. Washing machines are not designed to handle that level of filth, but repeating the wash several times produces a satisfactory result and doesn’t leave loose dirt in the washer to get on the next batch of normal laundry.

For really ground in oils, put in double the amount of soap in the first wash, and leave the lid open to allow everything to soak overnight before completing the first wash. For the last wash, use no soap to get that extra soap out.

Still, a washer in the barn is a wonderful idea, as you don’t have to drag that stuff through the house first.

Good advice. Thanks.
