When my waders got stanky it was mildew. What I did to attempt to get rid of it was multiple things and I forget what worked. Solution of bleach 7 parts water to one part bleach is what painters use and I'm pretty sure I did that in a spray bottle. Turned them inside out and used a towel and the sprayer. I also used some lysol. Used some baking soda too.
It was a long time ago. Those waders got burnt years ago.

After dealing with that I decided I never wanted to deal with it again. Built a wader dryer out of plywood and PVC pipes that fit over a floor vent so that our furnace dried my waders even when they didn't need it. Starting out with nice warm waders beats the heck out of damp n cold from out of the bed of the pickup.
Plus I got two pairs of waders so I could always start out with nice dry ones. Now I got one of the fan-forced boot, glove, and wader driers. No stinky mildewy waders to deal with anymore.
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.
