all joking aside , up here we have work carharts and sunday go to meeting ones, i realize that sound kind of hokey but thats just what it is . i have the ones i work in and the ones i wear arround people. i wash my work ones when i get dirtyer putting them on than i was , tide works wall with a little white vineger'kills the smell' and i have some that i only wear when i go out with my girlfriend. the greasy ones last about two to three years and the others last forever. good luck , bob

A couple of years ago I had to take the "drum" off the washer for repairs. The grease from my coveralls were built up thick underneath. That's when the wife started washing my greasy clothes at the laudrymat. But the problem at times was that she'd have to wait for a machine to open.
Then I bought a used washer, set it up out side and use it exclusively for all the greasy clothes and rags
.
BTW she uses Tide.

I use Fast Orange because it won't hurt the rubber or plastic parts on the washer, and gets clothes clean. Rewash with Tide bleach alternative. The washer doesn't smell afterward either, keeps me out of the dog house. The black Carharts, at work, we always had dry cleaned so they wouldn't fade.

rep: rep rep greasy coveralls
just add one can of coke and some oxygen booster to your normal washing ditergent in the washing machine and wash your coveralls. the acid in the coke pulls out most of the grease and the oxygen booster gets most of whats left.

Well thats all nice and stuff for grease, but how do you get blood out?
I have some rather nice coveralls that always manage to hold in the blood. Its rather annoying, since they are green normally, and the whole front is just dark red with smelly blood.
