GREASE!...

WD40 cuts grease pretty well. Brush it on. Knead it in. Blow it out. Repeat. -- Then detergent and water.

They should still make disposable coveralls and they are lightweight. Other than that...have a dedicated set of "Grungees" and use them for the nasty stuff. When unbearably filthy, wash at laundromat.

In hot weather, an oversized pair of bib overalls (worn without underwear) gives good airflow. For my upper body I'll use an old cotton dress shirt. The garments are dedicated for "dirty" work. Stains that don't come out in the wash just stay there.

We have some hot weather coming up the next couple weeks. Sounds like a commando style approach to my welding apparel is in order when in my shop. The only issue I see is when I come inside and remove the chaps! :eek: Good thing kids are moved out and the neighbors do not have any decent line of sight.

Back in the day, my Mom always used "Dash" detergent to get the grease and grime out of Dads oil field clothes. Late 50s-early 60s.

I wonder what all that stuff does to septic tank bacteria.

I buy only black clothes for working on anything oil or grease related and use the normal detergents, also have a separate wash machine. I also try like heck not to get much grease or oil on me. I try to be like those professional painters from back in the day where only the tip of the brush got paint on it after a full day of painting.

I've used WD40, then Dawn to pretreat, then soak in tub with 20 Mule Team and detergent, maybe even some ammonia. Yesterday I just sprayed a grease spot on my jeans with Brake Kleen. It seemed to work. Evaporates fast. Will see if the wife notices because I just tossed them in the laundry room.
