| What's the best way to remove the "fragrance" from a PC that has seen extensive time in the stan? |
| I strip it all down, launder it, and put it all back together. A pain in the ass, yes. But I only have to do it occasionally and I don't run the risk of it not drying fully behind pouches and such, leaving me to smell mildew every time I put it on. I hate mildew smells. |

Quoted:
Leave it out in the sun, or strip your essential gear off and take it in the shower. I'm lazy and it is combat gear after all. Quoted:

It's stripped down now, but I think I might try the shower idea first. If only I can find a cookie.

| I've used a device called a washing machine. You put stinky things in, add soap, and put it on start. There's a lot of water and suds and spinning and shit, and about an hour later you have wet garments that are clean. Depending on the material they are made of, you can out them into another machine called a Dryer, or you can simply put them out side to dry. |

I'll try scrubbing it down with a tire brush first, and then hit it with some of this stuff after it dries. My wife will be wearing this PC, so it has to be pretty damn odor-neutral - and she would not take kindly to me dumping it in the washer.
