Question about scent free laundry soap

[savin yours]

My kids have sensitive skin so we use the dye and scent free soap for their clothes. Is it the same as the hunting laundry soap? I still use dead down wind dryer sheets.

As far as the scent goes it is every it's every bit as good. However, be certain that it has no UV brightners in it. If it does, that's bad ju-ju. The way I understand it is that the uv brightners make our clothes "glow".

I believe if it says it'll make your colors brighter it's no good for bow hunting.

I use the free and clear type detergents for all my hunting clothes. Way cheaper than hunting brands.
As far as the UV brighteners, I haven't noticed any difference in the number of times I am getting seen by deer.

I thought I read somewhere on here about the UV brightness. Thanks, this is the info I'm looking for. This is what I use.

I stocked up on HEB branded Free and Clear last year bought several bottles for like $4.00 for a large size. I use if for all my hunting and under armour/dri-fit athletic type clothing.

I use the "free and clear" laundry detergents with no ill effects. I have a UV light I use to check my camo with and they don't show any brighter than clothes washed with, hunting specific detergents.

That would certainly remedy my only concerns. Checking them sounds like a really good solution

If you want to check your UV...walk in front of your no-flash cameras. If you glow, you will know!

I did a lot of research and found that seventh generation clear free laundry detergent has no scent, uv or dye. It is all natural and biodegradble, found out that all arm & hammer and several others still use uv brightners. Seventh Generation dosent have any of that stuff and can be found in target but unsure if at any other stores.
