I hate to do laundry, really hate it. So, I don't do it very often. I have lots of clothes and can go 2 - 3 months without doing it.
Well, it can create problems by doing that. I need a good stain remover that can clean set in: wheel bearing grease, motor oil, road grime, etc...you get the picture. I'll get it in the AM, so I'm looking for good recomendations tonite! thanks, sean |

Presoak... lots of scrubbing. Don't throw the item in the dryer until you're satisified it's clean enough.
Goof Off is good. Someone also make a stain removal stick. That works okay. Moly grease? You're screwed. Nothing gets that crap out. Dude... get a few sets of work clothes, and keep them segregated.

Presoak the stain with "Shout" or another prewash type soap. If it dosen't come out those clothes become around the house stuff.
I too can go a long time between mounds of clothes. |

heres an old navy trick that will get out almost anything:
go get some hand cleaner not the orange stuff but the stuff that looks like vasaline and smells like paint thinner. then rub that on the stain and let it sit for an hour or two then wash as normal. this trick will even get out anti seize which is one of the worst things to get out esp. if it hits sea water, which turns into a rock. scott |

The same stuff mechanics use to clean their hands. Just saw some tv lady recomend it for getting out stains. Rub it in real good to break up the stain then throw it in the wash. She said it's the only way to get oil and grease stains out. |

Get a set of Ben Davis coveralls for when you work on the car.
(IMG:http://www.zootsuitstore.com/Shopping/assets/thumbnails/bdcoverallsm.jpg) They work great! |

Hand cleaner and Oxy Clean. Really rub it into the stain. A dry cleaner I used to do buisness with used a bone to rub the cleaner into the fabric. Don't dry until you are sure it is as clean as you want it. George |

Bring your clothes to one of the laundrymats that charges by the pound. Do this more than once every two-three months.
Or... GO TO THE LAUNDRYMAT and meet chicks! They may think you are cute with your little funny looking car full of clean laundry. Make sure the front and rear trunks are clean so in case they want a ride, you can throw the laundry in the front and/or back (probably both since you will have two or three months worth) and then take them for a spin! Make sure your gas filler neck seals are all good so your clean laundry doesn't smell like gasoline. |

QUOTE can't pay someone to do something I know I can do. Why not? My motto - pay people to do the things you don't like to do which in turn gives you more time to do the things you like to do. |

i've got a pair of those work overalls, great for the winter time, too hot in the summer...
go to the "cheap" clothes outlets.....just last week I bought a few pairs of "cargo" pants (jeans with extra pockets and a little "oversized"*) for like $10 a pair or less. Target and Wal-Mart are great places for cheap clothes for working on your car...sure it looks odd at first all decked out in brand new clothes getting all dirty and all, but you'll be the best looking grease monkey at the autoparts store, hahaha *I think there are more or less designed for the young punks that like thier pants too loose to show off thier underwear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
