With the recent threads about washing packs, I noticed a few mentions about using Febreeze to deodorize pack straps, hip belts and such.

In theater, before Febreeze came along, the best method was cheap vodka in a spray bottle. Mist and let dry.

Nowadays, this works even better:

2 cups warm water
1/4 cup fabric softener (use clear and unscented)
1 Tablespoon baking soda

Mix well, put in a sprayer and use just like the expensive store-bought brand.

Baking soda works great. It's cheap, (like 50 cents a box) available everywhere, and non-toxic.

You can rub the powder right onto your sleeping pad too to remove stink. Toss some in your shoes/boots when you get into town.
