[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2992844, member: 24531"] Hey thanks, when I built a new house, I originally had an extra set of hookups planned in the garage but axed them at the last minute. I get by with the blue shop towels & old t-shirt rags or old towels all used until disposed of and not washed. For the laundry I do my best to avoid major spills on clothes and just use dish soap or oxy clean spray with a small brush to pretreat any larger oil/grease spots, then rinse in the sink, and then wash in hot with a cup of simple green added in addition to the laundry detergent...this method has worked for me for years and a few times I even used degreaser and a power washer on jeans as a pretreatment for major gunk...I get by but yes, I wish I had the extra washer...A buddy of mine used to always complain about folks washing red grease rags in the laundry mat by his house LOL!!! If I did this for a living, I would prob wear the same thing every day like you did...but this is just a suburban dad playing mechanic, so I have the luxury to plan it all out LOL...my buddy who owns a shop wears the same thing every day...in summer jean carpenter pants and a plain white t-shirt....in winter same pants and a white thermal underwear shirt with a sweatshirt or carhart jacket on standby.
