You mean you're supposed to wash the stuff?????
If there is a lot of mud and stuff on my camo's, I lay 'em in the yard and turn the hose on them. Then I put them in the washer --cold/cold-- with a half cup of Gain, no bleach. Tumble dry. Then I put them in a foot locker where I try to keep all my hunting clothes, camo, heavy socks, orange vest, hats, compasses, gloves, thermal underwear, etc. Along with a hand full of moth balls. This keeps them in one spot so I won't be tearing the house apart the night before I leave on a hunting trip. A couple of weeks before the first trip of the year, I take out what I'm gonna use, give them a good turn in the dryer, and hang them out in the barn until it's time to pack.
I don't worry too much about fading as I'm always on the look out for years end sales so I usually have more camo than I need. I know new crisp colours are supposed to be best but I like the looks of camo that has been washed a couple of times and worn awhile.
