The only time I washed my ghillie was when I slapped mud all over it to break in the jute, and to "naturalize" the colors. I simply took a hose and washed it down. But since then, its been around 4 months since I hosed down my ghillie.
When it gets wet during a rainy game, it smells like wet dog. Its horrible, especially since I keep it in my room. Sometimes it smells like plants from the veg I leave in my suit. Nice and natural, thats how I look at it.
The only time I would hose it down is if a bunch of bugs and critters decide to set up shop.

Febreeze and air dry is a lazy mans best friend

. Though I wouldn't recommend the febreeze unless you let it hang up for several days by some sort of air flow. Otherwise someone will walk by you while your hiding and be like "Hmm something smells clean. (Looks around) Ahah!" and shoots your great smellin' self

yeah... the only time ive washed mine was when i got poison oak on the inside some how....
How do you all store your suit? I'm constantly worried about bed bugs, ear wigs, and the like. I'm thinking of hanging it in my garage, in a cleaners plastic cover. Also I'm asking this because the dirt and filth that builds up on it over time could get all over whatever is around it, along with a ghillie's natural bulk. In the interest of max info, it is a full 3-peice suit.
I don't own a ghillie yet, but a good storage idea would be to zip it up in one of those nylon cover things you buy suits in.

I'm pretty sure you can find them for cheap this was just the first one I saw on Google. These will keep the critters out and keep it from spreading its dirty love

Just buy a full size one and make sure you hang it somewhere that you don't mind smelling funky.

Yes, the air will definitely help make the bad smell go away. Believe me, after playing a game in the rain, I felt like a dog that just got out of a swamp. Its gone now, just let it air dry and sit outside.

But it sounds like you are still trying to clean it. My ghillie has clumps of dirt, its sweaty, and smells like forest at the moment. Thats a good thing dude.

My ghillie is jute tied to netting which has been sewed down to my bdu. Does your ghillie have netting?
