Oily Overalls

[Karen-Coral]

I'm new to this problem...

How do you clean working mens clothes-oily overalls?

soak first? pre-wash?

special detergent?

separate washer?.......I'm sure ours isn't going to hold up to all this grime

well first of all i would say use a washing machine.

but 2nd of all u could also get someone else to do it for u

Nice to see independance is thriving! :lol:

Karen I'd of thought they'd wreck the washing machine, I've heard of folk pouring petrol on overalls to cut the grease but for all the hassle I'd be inclined to just bin them. :teehee: Looked online and they're about £8.00 which is probably cheaper than the boxes of Daz you'd need! :lol:

 

[Karen-Coral]

sorry Sean.....

Can't bin them Wild Whippie-

He wears them for work everyday... :cheers: anyway

Keep the tips coming...must be an answer somewhere............ :cheers:
