Greasers

Between farm and ranch, a cowboy's bound to wind up with some greasy clothes. Don't go throwing them away quite yet. With a little TLC, your gear can be back up and running in a flash. 

With the right care a guy can squeeze years out of a jacket and several rounds out of his gloves. 

Coveralls too. I know you're just going to get them greasy again. But clean clothes make for more productive work. 

First step is to treat the grease with Shout. 

I like to give them a good dose and then let it soak in for a while. 

The soap doesn't have to be special, just have to use plenty of it. 

I like to set the washer on Extra Large, Super Wash, with Hot/Cold wash. 

Once the machine fills up and turns a bit, I turn it off and let the clothes soak for a while. This allows the hot soapy water to penetrate the grease without being hard on the fabrics. 

After a bit, I kick the cycle back on and let it run its course. 

Should work. 

Then I'll throw the clothes in the dryer, just to tumble around for a few minutes without heat, to get all the wrinkles out. 

Then hang the clothes and drape the gloves to dry over night. 

Ranch Ready. 

Not only do you want to make your gear last, but, clean, used ranch wear has character. Just like how your pickup runs better when it's clean, so does a guy work smarter with clean clothes. Greasers are a part of every farmer/rancher's life. But they don't have to stay that way. Follow these simple steps and you'll be slicked back up and ready for town in no time!
