Cleaning overalls

[DIYspanner]

Is anyone using a specific detergent in the washing machine to get heavy stained overalls reasonably clean?

We had our own washing machine when I had the workshop. Used to use Persil non-bio on a hot wash as well as doing a pre-wash too. Worked for us.

I add a scoop of vanish powder, does help as well as the detergent.

Not my departure or responsibility.
However.
Remember.
Hotter the wash the better the clean.
30c cool washes take longer and are not good for dirt removal

I had assumed bio was better for cleaning clothes

I use it for moss too so that's partly why I buy it

Bio has bleaching agents for whites.

We use non-bio as bio gives us a rash and makes our skin itch.

Does this ancient tradition still take place? I would have thought disposable coveralls that contribute to environmental decline would be the norm these days?

Just kidding, it's been one of those days
