Been wearing IH denim jeans to work for nearly 3 years and kept them relatively tidy until today .. Got bloody oil on my XHS off my Nail gun
Hoping it washes out when I give them a wash at the end of the month..

[Daniel San]

bettering wash them earlier James
would do it fast as possible mate, oil is awful

[Jcaz6996]

It’s nothing too serious what do you think ?
Look where I used a wet cloth to try and rub it off just rubbed the dirt away honestly didn’t think they were that dirty lol

[Daniel San]

you’re right , doesn’t look that bad . thought it was worse .
but I would wash though , think the chance to get rid is now better than in 4 weeks

[Jcaz6996]

Going to leave it bud until the end of the month I think , wear them hard for the last couple of weeks and do a final wash before submitting my pictures..
Hopefully washes out then ..

Oil yesterday Sap today

[Daniel San]

@Jcaz6996
wow what is that ??

[dinobarnesberlin]

@Jcaz6996 that might be tougher to come out

Any petroleum based product will remove tree sap…gas, lighter fluid, WD-40…don’t know what it will do to the denim though.

When I was working with arborists, we used it all of the time with pine sap.

When we were done cutting down big pines, you were so sticky you couldn’t stand to touch anything.

[Daniel San]

Is it tree resin ??

[Jcaz6996]

Yes mate sticky shit ..
what’s next lol …
still going to leave it until the end of the month fingers crossed it washes out .

Don’t fancy spraying WD40 on it

[Daniel San]

I hope so mate !!
would love to see you on podium

[Jcaz6996]

@Daniel-San mate would love that but never going to happen. Wishful thinking

[Jcaz6996]

Hoping for the best ..Google says Hand Sanitizer to remove tree sap ,so I put that on it and gave it a gentle rub with a scrubbing brush and rinsed it off under the tap
Looks like it’s worked ..

[goosehd]

...hand sanitizer has alcohol in it...

[Jcaz6996]

@goosehd good or bad idea ? Shit

[goosehd]

I don't know how it will react, but that's the same reasoning as my recommendation. It dissolves the resin/sap...

Let us know how it turns out.

[Jcaz6996]

So far so good just drying it off with the hair dryer

[RoxRocks86]

Denim is not safe at work thats for sure. Ended up with paint on my pair…again

[Jcaz6996]

Surprisingly is all off.. tree sap and the oil

Usually if I’m doing anything messy in work I like loose joists then fitting caberdeck floor boards have to use D4 glue that’s some messy shit that goes on your clothes it’s never coming out so I put waterproof bottoms on over my jeans just to keep them clean.
