Climbing In The Rain?

Working in Poison Oak will lead to harness washing.

Washing climbing gear in a washing machine will shorten the life of that machine, IME.

Ha! I had to laboriously clean all the pine sap out of the dryer with orange oil one time after I got a talking to.

Now my lazy answer to that is to wash sappy cloths inside out. Clean cloths, sap can wear off on next tree job.

With the amount of free washers on CL, for the price of picking it up, it might save some grief to have a work washer. Keep it in the shop. Its gray water, so it wouldn't even need a drain, just to be kept from freezing.

A work washer sounds like a great idea. Heck, I bet a large parts washer would do the job.

Washing your work wear twice gets it cleaner, and leaves the machine cleaner. Lingering oil residue doesn't work well with a silk blouse or expensive unmentionables, or the like, going into the next load. A short rinse cycle afterword may help alleviate a potential headache.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I usually let a load sit overnight.

First time I've heard of anybody doing that.

What does the washing machine look like afterwards?

Washing machine is fine, gear came out clean.

I wash a load of my street cloths after a load of work cloths just to have it cleaner for wifes things.
