Help with cleaning Hill people gear runner bag

[Talkinghalls]

First of all, I love the runner bag, perfect for running with a G19. Normally I run in the early mornings so I don’t sweat much.

I went on a camping trip recently to Johnson’s Shut Ins in Missouri, and sweated my ass off until the point of almost heat exhaustion.

No damage done to me or the bag, however how the heck do I get the sweat smell out of the bag? Dish soap and drying rack?

I'll second this. The dryer is usually the problem so make sure to put it on a drying rack.

Great bag, I've carried mine for years. I kind of wish it would wear out, so I could justify buying a waxed canvas one.

Cool. My HPG bag is getting pretty ripe, too. I was wondering about how to wash it without entanglement in the washer. Just chuck it in a mesh bag, nice.

My Thing 1 & 2 learned while serving where the daily temps are 115 to 124*
Even at home, yesterday was 119* for the men and women at 29 Palms.

What detergent do they use nowadays?
I ask because most detergents make your web gear, BDU's glow when hit with IR.
Ivory bar soap was a go to back in the day, but I hope they now have a detergent out that actually works without destroying your uniforms vs IR.

One son responded with Cheer liquid or powder or woolite.

Stuff it full of wadded up newspaper when washed / as you hang it to dry. A) it'll help keep shape, and B ) it'll help draw more moisture out more quickly so it'll dry faster.

Swap crinkles newspaper as needed.

I can't remember the name of them but they make quite a few different liquid detergents without optical brighteners which is what I believe you are referencing. Woolite does sound right as creedmoor referenced but its been a few years since I've had to worry about these things.

I was thinking more along the lines of soaking and swishing it around in a 5 gal bucket with some tide and then rinsing it with the garden hose and letting it air dry
