Thomas Cornick: Here in WA they sell a product called Spray'NWash. It is the best product I've found to do the job. Spray the Spray'NWash on the heaviest stains then put your coveralls and gloves in the washer with a low or medium warm water level. Add detergent and 1/4 to 1/2 cup Spray'NWash. When the elastic wears out, perhaps replace it. Cut a slice in the hem of the sleeves or leg ends, clip and or remove the elastic. Cut another piece of elastic and put a small safety pin through the end. Close the pin and feed it through the hem. Tie the ends of the elastic together giving the right tension that you desire. Slip the knot into the cut in the hem. You have replaced the elastic. Slip the knot back out of the hem if you want to retie it tighter or looser. Or wear gloves. Or use velcro elastic bands. Or sew a piece of 3/4 inch elastic together to make the proper size wrist band to go over your folded sleeves. James C. Bach [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]
