What do you guys use to wash gear, like backpacks and tents? (lemmy.world)

I neglected to wash my backpack the last couple seasons and my 2p tent could use a wash. Zippers are feeling a little gritty.

I've seen some suggestions like baby shampoo, but the only stuff at the store was scented. Anyone use unscented castile soap?
