Fast Food Employee - Advice For Cleaning Greasy Clothes

RE: Fast Food Employee - Advice For Cleaning Greasy Clothes By PEANUTANG (5) Contact I HAVE FOUND THAT DAWN DISH SOAP IS GOOD FOR CLEANING GREASEY CLOTHES AND ALSO CASCADE AUTOMATIC DISH POWDER. WHEN YOU PUT YOUR CLOTHES IN THE WASHER FILL IT UP AND ADD ONE OF THESE CLEANERS. LET THE WATER AGGITATE A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN TURN YOUR WASHER OFF AND LET IT SET FOR ABOUT 5 MIN. AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THE CASCADE IS ALSO GOOD FOR STAINS ANS DINGY CLOATHES. BETTER THAN OXY CLEAN!!!!

Rub a glob of this gooey handsoap on the grease stains, and work it in with a brush (an old toothbrush works well). Then wash in regular detergent in warm or cold water (hot will set the grease stains in). Add 1/2 cup of plain old vinegar to the rinse cycle (it will remove the odors, and no, your uniforms won't smell like vinegar!). Also, if at all possible, don't dry the uniforms in the dryer -- the heat seems to "lock in" the odors. Hang them to dry, outside is best, but even hanging them in your shower beats using the dryer.

My husband works in a machine shop, talk about greasy, the ammonia was able to remove the stains as well as the smell. I add 1/2 to 1 cup to a load.

Good luck. Posted on 04/30/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Fast Food Employee - Advice For Cleaning Greasy Clothes By D (Guest Post) i use clorox for colors & it helps w/ the stains & the smell!!

Sometimes the SB would sit on the stain for several days before washing. It also helps to pour the liquid laundry soap over the stain as you are putting it in the washer.

(found in the carpet cleaning aisle) It even removes grease after it has been baked in the dryer. Spray it on liberally and then lit it sit overnight before washing. It has never failed me Posted on 04/30/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Fast Food Employee - Advice For Cleaning Greasy Clothes By guest - Linda (Guest Post) Add one cup of ammonia along with your detergent. Ammonia is a grease cutter and deodorizer. Run an extra rinse cycle after you try this the first time. ( You already know not to mix bleach with ammonia.)

They're really good at cutting out grease. Find one in a great scent and your clothes should come out clean and smelling great.

Contact back when I worked for the "COLONEL" I always washed my uniforms with a combination of pine cleaner, ammonia and dawn dishwashing liquid and used vinegar in the rinse cycle--uniforms smelled just as fresh as new. And no leftover grease spots either. cj Posted on 04/30/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Fast Food Employee - Advice For Cleaning Greasy Clothes By Yabba (1) Contact I too worked at Mcdonalds years ago. I found that Palmolive, specifically, worked great at removing that greasy ring around the collar. Make sure you apply it evenly though...it works so well you will end up with "clean" spots if you just poor it on haphazardly.

I thought nothing would take it out and a friend told me to rub pure old dishwashing liquid on it and try again.It came out pretty well. That's something almost everybody has around the house. The secret is to always use something to degrease before you wash.

One-eighth to one-fourth cup per load should do the trick. Most pine cleaners have washing machine instructions on the bottle. It will really get the grease smell out, and no, you won't wind up smelling like a pine tree! Posted on 04/29/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
