JUst came home from a sweaty night in the WBBB. Got to wondering how often you guys are cleaning your WBBB. AFter a certain number of uses or just when you can't stand the stink any more?

i only clean mine when it looks dirty, just a wipe down with some mild soap and water, i also store it with a dryer sheet if it is getting funky smelling
Never have....the stink gives me privacy and space!:laugh:

Never has so far, but once the dog wants to roll in it - then i'll wash it.
After a long trip or a couple short ones I throw the hammock W amsteel attached into a mesh bag and run it with other gear.
I don't know (yet) since I haven't washed my WBBB.Quote:

(d) I actually sleep better because my subconscious thinks I am at home.
Also, a couple of sheets tossed into my backpack keeps it from smelling funky too.
But to answer your question: I wash as necessary (but the dryer sheets delay the process).
Good to know I'm not the only one that does this...Quote:

Dryer sheets are no better than B1, which is to say, not effective at all. DEET works best. Long sleeves and long pants work also.Quote:
