I've read a few threads discussing BDU fadding, and so far I've come up with the following:

Prior to using the BDU, soak it in SPF 50 (unscented) sunscreen, and let it dry overnight
Wash it in a vinegar bath to break down the fibres and make it more supple
Wash it only when absolutely necessary
Wash it in cold water with liquid detergent

Have any of you tried these tricks before? If so, what kind of insight can you provide? Is there a particular kind/brand of detergent/sunscreen/vinegar which works best?

Have you had problems with any of these methods?

I just dropped 100$ on a set of Cadpat BDUs and I'd them to last me as long as possible.
