Ground Blind after getting wet

[Red Letters]

I have a double bull blind that sat out in some rain, it dried out but now has a musty/moldy smell. My only idea is to start spraying it with scent killer? I thought about trying to do a light wash with hunting soap but that would require wetting it again and hoping it doesn’t get worse.
Any thoughts?

If you wash it and dry it in an airy place, might remove mildew smell.

Hang it on a clotheline or something, set it up and leave windows open….

After it dries, you may want tomspraynw water repellant stuff like scotchguard.

I would wash with diluted vinegar and soap. Scent killer may cover the scent temporarily but as soon as it gets wet the smell will come back. Do it on a nice sunny breezy day and it won't make it worse. Then recoat with a water repellent solution of some sort. I use a Nikwax and works pretty well.

If you're gonna put the blind out for the season, I wouldn't do anything to it. Get it out early, brush it in, and the deer will get used to it.
