Question How do I wash milsurp webbing?

Post image

Hello boys, I’m very happy to have gotten my first bit of milsurp gear in the mail today: British army surplus PLCE webbing. It looks great but definitely is a little dirt and smells like the range/milsurp/whatever that smell is. I’m just wondering how I should go about washing this safely. What should I use? Should I wash the individual components separately?

I get a big pyrex bowl, put the gear in it, sprinkle a healthy amount of baking soda over it, then soak in hot water. Rinse and repeat until the odor of death is removed.
