If that is your biggest problem, you are having a good day.
If you cleaned your guns in the buff, you would not have this problem.

I wear the same clothes every time I clean my guns. Eventually the spots will all be connected and the clothes will look uniform again.

Wish I could help. I have the same problem both with machine oil stains at work and gun oil/solvent stains at home.

I always change into some old work clothes before cleaning my guns so that if I get oil or solvents on them, I don't worry about it.

I usually go shirtless and keep a towel on my lap, pretty much exactly the same setup as when I eat hot wings

Clean firearms? People do that?

Only Glocks. It's a safety thing.

I have a similar problem but it's self-inflicted. I contracted fiveyearolditis when I was young and never got rid of it. Thus I continually do things like wipe my nose with my sleeve, wipe my hands on my pants and shirt, etc. You COULD just wear ragged work attire as was suggested or you could go the route I did and just expect to be an unkempt person. Things are better for me this way. I have no self esteem issues due to the lack of personal hygiene and appearance expectations.

On a serious note - you could try to rub some goop on your clothing before putting the articles in the washer. I've heard this works but haven't tried it. Just to be safe I'd put the treated items in the washer alone the first time you try it. Wouldn't want any of the lady's things turning into collateral damage.

What works for me is to only have crappy stained clothes because I spend all my money on guns and ammo.


I have started wearing latex gloves when I clean my guns. I can buy new clothes, but do not make near enough money to buy decent new hands.

I have a bench in which you must stand up to clean my weapons. Plus I'm not a slob.

Lay on your bed, on your stomach, with your arms and head dangling off the foot of the bed, then clean your firearms on the floor, where you have a tarp, and a cleaning mat on the floor. Unless you manage to get drops falling up, you shouldn't get any stains

That reminds me of something that I have the girlfriend do..............

I usually wear Tee shirts and levi's when I go shooting - clean my guns in the same outfit. I also wear them in the woodshop so they usually have some paint or stain on them anyhow. Figure it give them "character".

Product called Lestoil. You can order it online. Used to be available at the grocery. Apply full strength to any oil/grease stain and wash in hot water. It WILL come out. I suggest washing separately and washing a second time in detergent only as Lestoil does have a strong petrol odor.

Lol. Ya really. Good one.

If you put some orange hand cleaner in the wash (4 or 5 pumps ) it will take the grease out.

If I could find a woman who does that, I'd prolly marry her...

I just can't keep a shirt clean. Salad with oil/vinegar? No way. Car maintenance? Not a chance. I just wear already stained shirts/sweaters when I do anything with a liquid that won't wash out.
