GOLDTIP....Field and Stream had a good recipe for sent block spray.

Two cups (16 ounces) distilled water
Two cups (16 ounces) 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/2 cup Baking soda
1 ounce unscented shampoo, to thicken mixture (I used Autumn scented shampoo from Gander)

Gently combine the ingredients into a large bowl until baking soda dissolves. Pour mixture into a 1 gallon lidded container, such as a milk jug. Let it sit for three days with the lid on loosely to allow gasses to escape. Then pour into a large spray bottle (found at any hardware store)

I put some acorns and oak leaves into the distilled water and let soak over night to give the water a Autumn smell. Then strained out and added into mixture. I used this recipe last year and it worked well. The baking soda does turn some of your clothes a hint of white after a lot of use but just wash them and good as new. Just remember to leave the cap on the gallon jug loose otherwise the gases spray the ingredients all over the place. Total cost about $5. The most expensive item is the unscented shampoo. You can easily make 5 or 6 batches for a total of $10.
