Dryer sheets and baking soda

Never had a problem with odor. I leave my boots outside all season long under a covered porch though. After season they go back into the box they came in.

Take a look at this product. Read the reviews on Amazon. Several people claim the UV light technology eventually got the stink out of their boots/shoes

Wash them in creek water, roll themback and sun dry them. Then spray with Scent Killer. You can skip the last step if you want, just wanted you to feel better.

And this is not a joke. Nothing beats creek water and unscented soap to kill odor when sun dried.

Take a small box of baking soda and dump it in the boot and "swirl" the powder around inside and dump the excess out. Then wash really good with an unscented soap and spray out with a hose and either use a boot dryer, or put them out in the sun turned inside out. My wetland mucks smelled like a dead body and this cured mine.

The funk will not build up so bad if you take a blow dryer and dry them out every time you take them off.. You can leave them on thier side so a floor vent blows inside them to dry them out.

I use alot of Baking soda during hunting season.We also use it thru out the year for funky wash. Any Pool supply place sells 25 or 50 lb sacks of it. Alot cheaper and easier than buying boxes.

Buy a boot dryer, put your boots on them after every hunt. It will keep them fresh and from stinking. One of the best investments I ever made. Works great to dry your boots and shoes when you wash them also.

yup. i concur with the baking soda suggestion. i use it regularly. the properties of the soda(changing the PH level) will help mucho.

I love my Peet boot dryers (all 3 of them). They can be found at most hunting stores, and some hardware stores in my area. Read the reviews at this link.

I thought a boot dryer was a have to have item? Maybe that is because I hunt alot of low wetlands. I could not function without mine.

Last year I went to our swamp land and the inside of mine got soaked and when I got home.....I forgot about them sitting in my bag downstairs....I actually threw up a little in my mouth when I smelled them. I have a big bag of cedar chippings that someone gave me for my dog's doghouse. I filled the boots with them and completely covered them in the bag for about a month. Problem solved.

It is a must have in my eyes.

I turn my mucks upside down and stuff them between the cab and the bed. The heat from the exhaust pipes dries them quite nicely.

I've seen several homemade Bootdryers made from 1.5" PVC with a Blowdryer for heat and air circulation. A couple of T's a few right angle's and you'll be good to go.

Put a small amount of baking soda in the bood after each hunt. Then buy the small boxes of baking soda that have the vented tabs. Throw it into your star age container when you put them up.
