What do you use to clean your carbon arrows after you run them threw a deer?

Hot water and dishwashing liquid even use dish brush on feathers if needed. Then put arrow in bathroom sink point down lean shaft against fingernail use blow drier to spin arrow by blowing on feathers until dry will spin better and better as they dry "kinda fun". Just make sure to wipe spray droplets off of mirror before wife comes in.

I cleaned mine also with dish soap, but first I just stripped off the wrap/feathers and cleaned the shaft. I'll just refletch it later, got plenty, no big deal.      :coffee:

I clean the shaft with water and then clean the rest of the blood out of feathers with peroxide. Then use a hair dryer on the fletch while shaping them with my fingers until they are dry. They turn out just fine.

Before.

This is the arrow after. Good as new and has a little luck on it.

Dish soap and warm water the fletch will dry out and look fine. Got to try the peroxide.
