Take them to the self SERVE laundramat?
Take them to the self SERVE laundramat?
I use paper towels some.I also use mostly old t-shirts. I use them for progressively nasiter jobs: when they're clean, I use them to wipe my hands; when they're dirty from that, I use them for checking oil. When they're oily, I use them to wipe off grease zerks.
After they're greasy, I use them to wipe the grease/dirt/grass mixture off the mower and rotary cutter wheel spindles. Finally, when they're so bad, I can't pick them up without nasty stuff falling off of them, they go in the trash.
*I also use extra paper napkins from fast food places for oil/grease-related cleaning.
And leave the greasy mess in the washer for the next poor guy?!!!
The next guy could be me, on the road traveling.
Among the most dangerous are rags ... in contact with corn oil, fish oils, ... linseed ... pine oil ... soybean oil ... .
Such oils are reactive with oxygen at room temperature ...
[then it goes on to say petroleum-derived oils do not have this trait.]
