how do you clean your flocking?

[Justin DB]

Alrighty boys I got out a few time this weekend for the early goose season up where I live and I have got to tell you it was hot and humid outside, not to mention the feild that we were hunting was a tilled sweet corn feild so it was dusty as hell out there...

Well all and all we ended up with 24 geese total out of the two days that we hunted that feild, on saturday the early season opened, and the hunting was alright but saturday evening we got em good (13)....

Well seeing as how it was dusty out and what not I just was wondering what was the best way to clean the flocking on my avery fullbodies and shell, or was is the method that you use....

Thanks for the help guys...

Justin,

I use an air compressor with the blower attachment on it. It does a phenominal job at removing dust.

Thanks,

Justin - The air compresser is the way to go. I have used soft bristled toothbrushes, and a hunting partner called this weekend and said he used a soft horse brush. Obviously, you need to press lightly when using a brush, and NO circular motions. If you can help it use the air compresser.

wow, I would have never thought that the air compressor would be the way to go, I was just a little paranoid that the flocking might come off.

But I guess when it comes to flocking and stuff you guy at avery really know you ****.

Justin,

For dust the air compressor works great but if you get them muddy I use a garden hose and a soft brush. To be 100 % honest I normally only clean mine once a year unless they are extremely muddy. Once the mudd is dry just brushing them with your hand cleans them up just fine.

I am with Eric. Unless the decoys are extremely muddy, I usually do not clean them very often. The air compressor is a good idea for dry areas, but low pressure water works great too.
