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

Just looked for Basic H. At $206 for a 5 gallon pail, "pricey" is certainly accurate.

Yeah, but that is for Basic H2, not Basic H.

But thanks for the link.

Even when I was married I would wash my muddy, greasy work clothes. I used Tide and Lestoil or Pinesol. Then I would

wash the washer with Lestoil so her clothes wouldn't get any grease stains.

I haven't seen anyone mention Oil Eater yet, used to could get it at Costco but it's online and probably cheaper. Scrape the worst of the grease off with a trowel, spray some on full strength and scrub with a dollar store brush after a couple minutes and rinse out. Should get it clean enough for the washing machine, or next use if shop clothes.

Break kleen or a generic brake cleaner.

Not a grease around that can stand up to it on clothing. Blast the spot down with some brake cleaner, mop dry with a paper towel. May be hard on some Types of Buttons...

Jack concentrated magic industrial hand cleaner.

For your hands. Thought my hands were clean till I used this stuff. After a few times use of concentrated magic, my fingers and hands were of hollywood hand model quality, besides the scars and calluses.

Buy new clothes? My good clothes suddenly become work clothes the moment I walk into the barn.

What I do for the inevitable grease stains on clothing is, I gave a spritz bottle of concentrated ZEP degreaser (I buy the stuff in 5 gallon plastic totes) to my wife and she p-re soaks the stains with it and then washes them in hot water and that removes the staining. I also wash my dirty, greasy shop rags in a mix of it and hot water in my ancient Maytag washer machine I keep in the shop, it's a manual wringer and hang them on a clothesline to dry. No way would my wife ever allow me to use her in the house washer.

The Lubrication Engineers grease I use is very, very hard to get out of clothing and / or shop rags. it's a synthetic, teflon fortified grease and quite expensive.

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.

I just prespot it with GoJo or Goop hand cleaner. Don't wash right away but let it work in the dirty clothes hamper. Works with oil or hydro fluid also, and as a bonus it will help clean regular dirt too.
