Nothing special, but I do store all hunting cloths in duffel bags. At some point down the line when deer start spooking, I know it's time for new ones. The camo gets faded too much

How do you wash and store your hunting clothes?

Dye free detergent, then put into the corn bags with some leaves.
I wear same type clothes to hunt in as I wear every day and wife washes them and hangs in closet with other clothes.
doesn't matter how well you control your scent
Deer will smell/wind you
watch the wind, if it ain't right move to another location or sometimes it is best to just go back home

I use Nikwax Wool Wash on my woolens and All Free & Clear on the rest.
I store them in a tote with a fresh earth scent wafer after washing.

No offense, I think some hunters try too hard. I was sitting in a blind, eating chips and telling racist jokes, and this deer comes up from behind the blind and looked straight in at us.
I agree on hunting the wind,in south ga the wind may shift from 4 different directions in a mourning sit.i try to place stands on food plots in the southeast corners it seems we very seldom have wind from that direction in sw ga.
Best piece of advice I can give you is.....Wind can be your friend or your worst enemy..
I live on a pretty remote mountain and I have 12 Toms, a spike, a 4 point, a 6 point and a dozen does that hang around everyday. Monday I was blowing leaves in the backyard and turned around and 10 of Toms were standing 15 feet away watching what I was doing. Critters get used to smells, sounds and people but they will scatter if they see or smell anyone but me or my wife.
