[at-l] this smells

[thornel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (W F Thorneloe)]

I am glad your combination of tricks worked with the cat poop. I would have
put it outside to dry and air out, tried to brush off the bulk of the cat
fertilizer before attempting to wash or clean it. I suspect you initially
succeeded in getting kitty crap into your bag and down in the first
attempt, then succeeded in washing and rinsing with the later attempts.

Fleece had a lot of problem with holding odors when it was pretty new. I
understand the fibers are more compact and do not hold oils so well, and
succeed in wicking better. Regular washing usually removes our hiker
stench, especially after a couple of washings and extending the rinse cycle.

Among my family, I think they prefer cat doo to Parfume de Hiker.
