White colar secrets.....

[redd]

This may be a strange question, but what does everyone use to get airplane grease and engine grime off of their white pilot's shirts when you throw them in the washer?

It can get real expensive if you can only get 4 or 5 wearings out of them before the front and sleeves are trashed, not to mention the colar.

Thanks for any tips.

When you wash your shirts instead of using water in the washer hook up two tanks with a crossfeed, one containing white distilled vinegar and the other bleach. Instead of using the dryer hang them in a dark room with camera flashbulbs all around and set to flash every 5 minutes on all sides of the shirts until they are dry. It will be slightly more expensive but your shirts will come out a brilliant white every time.

The best thing that I have found to get rid of grease is eather. I know that you can't just spray eather on you and walk around smelling like that so here are some easy tips for you. If the bathroom at the FBO has a hand dryer, spray the shirt, and wash it out with soap and water. Use the hand dryer to dry the shirt. I can't help you for wrinkles, but the grease stain will be gone and the shirt will be clean.

Simple Solution

I have found that 'Simple Green' will get out anything!
Good luck..

Soak your shirt in OxyClean. You can pick it up at the grocery store.

I suggest you upgrade to captain and make the FO worry about how to clean HIS shirts. TC

or tell the lazy ass sitting to your left to do a walkaround once in a while

I have found that a bleaching toothpaste with a tooth brush works pretty well to remove oil stains.

Are you preflighting the airplane or putting it through a D-check?

If Monica couldn't get those silly white spots off her dark dress, how on earth are we gonna get some serious dark spots off our white shirts?

 

[AA717driver]

You might burn your mouth on the oil breather port. Monica didn't have any excuse for her stains... TC

Dawn PowerScrub (blue spray bottle) for the oil/grease. It's in the dish detergent aisle.
Oxyclean for the bodily fluids.
Suave Shampoo for the 'ring around the collar'.

And that blue stuff from the lav comes out quite nicely if you step into the shower still wearing the now blue shirt. When the blue stains are off you, they'll be off the shirt.

At least I know what the definition of "is", is.

Ring Around the Collar

I have found that Zout works better than Oxyclean! Get them before they are washed and dried though.

Also, Stain Stick.

I've never tried it on white shirts, but it works real good on my tractor fixin shirts.

Here's the deal, take the Gojo and rub it into the stains. Now listen close, this next step is important.

Go find a Laundromat/Washateria/coin laundry. Don't do this in your wifes brand new Maytag.

Take your greasy stuff, stick it in the machine, then dump the rest of the one pound tub of Gojo into the machine. Drop in your quarters, have a cup of coffee, then re-run the load using laundry detergent.
This works on most all grease and oil soiled shirts.
