I have some wool that smells like... you guessed it mothballs! is there any way to get the smell out? I've soaked, washed in baking soda, scent free soap etc... and every time it gets wet it smells like... you get the picture!! HELP!! Jason
Mothballs don't smell like humans...heck maybe it will attract them 8^). Hang it outside for a few days...out of the rain and try a little Fabreeze. If that don't work put it in a box for a day with some whole cloves.

Try 1 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup baking soda, no detergent. Just toss them in the washing machine like normal. When you take them out they will have a little of the vinegar smell, dry in the dryer and the smell is gone when done. I left my hunting clothes hanging in the basement and this got rid of the musty smell. I hunted in the rain and the smell didnt come back...Roy
Find a cedar tree. Grab some needles and rub them all over inside & out hang to dry... If you still have a smell spray with water'd down lemon juice, repeat w/cedar needles.
Do not put that wool in the dryer!!!!!!!
Thanks guys, it my not bother the deer but it makes my eye's burn! it's purdy strong! Jason
I put the wool in a bag of leaves and leave it outside for a few days.
