How to clean Schaeffer 02382-029S Ultra Supreme Grease off of clothes, etc?

[joea99]

While I find this grease to be great for use on the TLB, once it gets on clothing, it seems impossible to get off. Can't wash it off hands easily either. Wipes off relatively easily, but washing it off is another matter.

It's real easy, for me, to get it all over and clean up is a task.

Suggestions? For cleaning off of clothes, that is.

My wife says this works.

WD-40. Then rewash with naptha

Or Oxy-clean

Or don’t worry about it. It’ll wear off eventually.

Must be the farmer in me talking

I have a small wardrobe marked work clothes, and don't worry about stains, rips, etc. They become work clothes after DW complains about how I look to go the the grocery store.
I look like a bum_ or college kid with them on but who cares_ not me.
It's normal for me go get an oil-bath when replacing the 1G oil filter on the Cummins MH engine. Those go in the burn pit after use.

Ugh, That Shaeffer is an aluminum grease with moly too. In my book that is overkill.
I only use moly on the swing pivots of the backhoe and there I use a different moly with lithium as thickener. That way soap at least has a chance to break the grease down. Even so, the moly lives in its own grease gun & any extra gets wiped off by hand. Moly stains everything forever. Nasty stuff.

I sort of remember that theoretically, aluminum base greases should respond to organic acids. Try some of the vinegars ....or maybe citrus solvents. But even if they work on the Aluminum thickener, the moly stays behind....

Except for the swing components and the bottom-most boom pivot, everywhere else on our tractors gets a shear-stabilized polyurea "green grease" that is easy to wipe off, just as water resistant, and breaks down with common soaps.

Shaeffer also sells a grease remover which they use citrus

I’ve alway used the Goop hand cleaner paste to remove grease from clothes. It also does a good job with tree sap removal.

Have you tried dawn dish soap? I wonder how Basic H would work? It will disolve oil completely and you can rub your hand over the area and its clean only problem
it costs an arm and leg to purchase it
