Steps

  1. WD40 can damage weaker fabrics and dyes. On a Carhartt jacket like this it’s not a problem but make sure to do a test spray on a less visible part of what you’re washing to make sure it won’t damage your clothes!

  2. After spraying WD40 on the oil and grease make sure to rub it in good with a toothbrush and put dawn dish soap on immediately after. You don’t want the WD40 too sit very long

  3. Fill a bucket up with warm/hot water and fill it with Oxi clean. Let it sit for around a day like this

  4. Get rid of the gross water and rinse off the jacket in the water. Put it in the washer on HOT and then put it in the dryer and your done!
