I have 2 pairs of jeans that I wear when working on my tractor and other things around the place. They get a lot of oil and grease on them. Yesterday I decided to see if I could get them clean.
First I used Oxyclean gel and a scrub brush, then I soaked them in powered Oxyclean and hot water for about 30 minutes. Then I washed them like normal.
Every single oil and grease stain came out. Some of the stains had been there for almost a year and had been through the washer and dryer a lot.
My wife was impressed because she thought they were a total loss.
They are so clean I almost hate to wear them working on greasy stuff.
I will admit there are some places that are a little less blue so be careful if you use this method.
