I neglected to wash my backpack the last couple seasons and my 2p tent could use a wash. Zippers are feeling a little gritty.

I’ve seen some suggestions like baby shampoo, but the only stuff at the store was scented. Anyone use unscented castile soap?

    I’ve got the hammock gear 20* econ. It’s the one with snaps instead of the zipper, so I’ve had it for a while. It gets me into shoulder season here in CO before I think about bringing a sleeping bag out. I think it was a hell of a deal, especially for what I paid at the time.

    It’s probably due for a wash soon. Did you use the nikwax down wash when you did yours?

      yup got the nikwax for down, hand washed in the bathtub and dried on no heat with tennis balls just like the instructions describe. it took a whole afternoon but it worked
