How It's Done
Step 1: Shop
Assemble the ingredients:
2 cups (16 ounces) 3% hydrogen peroxide
2 cups (16 ounces) distilled water
1/4 cup baking soda
1 ounce unscented shampoo (available at drug or health-food stores)
Step 2: Mix
Gently combine all the ingredients in a large bowl until the baking soda dissolves. Pour this 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 gases to escape.
Step 3: Bottle
Fill a plastic bottle that has a trigger sprayer with the scent killer. It must be clean, so buy a new one from a hardware store or online.
Step 4: Wipe
To make scent-killing wipes, place plain brown multifold paper towels-"the kind that come in stacks, not on a roll-"in a small plastic tub with an airtight lid. Cover them with scent killer and let it soak in. Pour out excess liquid and replace the lid. Now you can wipe down boots, bows, and stands, and even use a towel or two to neutralize the sweat you produce shinnying up that perfect white oak.
P.S.- Do Not store the scent killer in clear jugs/containers! Hydrogen peroxide slowly breaks down to water when exposed to light, so store your home brew in a dark place such as a closet or in "Colored Jugs"!
