I clean the chainsaws with a air compressor and some of it gets on my work clothes. Even after washing I can smell it. Whats the best way to get the smell out of my clothes?

I've never been able to - I keep grease clothes (after they've been worn out) and non grease clothes. When they smell too much of diesel/petrol I burn them... By that time some more ones have worn out to replace them!

Do it naked.

Add ammonia to your load of wash. It takes out oil, grease and manure.

thanks i`ll try the ammonia. I tried it naked and the neighbors didn't like it.

Wear differnet clothes............
OR, there is a product called "Anti Icky Poo" (available from "Mr. Max") that will supposedly remove all odors....

It does work better than anything on cat pee that has soaked into wood.

All i use is tide have never really found any thing that will take all the grease out I just live with it. In the summer i take extra shirtswith me to the woods so i ont have to wear a sweaty one all day It seem to help to not get so dirty also.

Good idea. I've got some particularly lovely coveralls I could burn in the wood stove and would keep the house warm all night.
yes but be careful. my best friend tried this and used too much. had bubbles for days. i laughed he told me to leave ha
Revoke his man card. Worried about smelling like a chainsaw? Whats the problem. I have clothes for when I need to smell purdy but the wife actually likes the smell of chainsaws. My daughter loves it when Ive been cutting Cedar all day she says I smell good.
I personally use bar oil and exhaust smoke for deodorant. Chicks dig it

I'm a diesel mechanic and have to deal with greasey clothes all the time. We use Simple Green sprayed on as a pretreater for the bad spots and as the main detergent in the machine as well. The Simple Green very concentrated and cuts like a knife. I have my solvent tank at home filled with it and it cuts chainsaw grease and grime without effort. I will never use mineral spirits again!
