i think it's almost the same thing as it is with soaking/washing a pair of jeans! so whenever you feel the urge to oil your patch…go ahead

Wait, when?

Heh heh, you want to "oil" your "patch"…

mega, remember when oiling that "patch" fistful of babyoil isn't right solution…. ???
Thats what the nurse at the hospital told me too :-\

Nice Doug, where is that from exactly?

woolite will work. you could also use unscented detergent and put a few drops of some pleasant smelling essential oils into the water. I use peppermint oil. But dr. bronners is not restricted to handwashing.
Or just throw a dryer sheet, a slightly damp cloth, and your flannel into the dryer and tumble low heat for a few minutes.

Cheers, Adam. Just the answer I was looking for. I was thinking of dropping some oils but I didn't know if it'll do harm to the fabric. Cool cool, thanks again!

Good advice from Lando above. I soaked my Flat Heads in warm water with a touch of Dr Bronner's every two months before finally washing them in the machine at six months. Kept the stink away and I'm sure contributed to the longevity of the fabric in high-friction areas. The creases stayed put too.
Don't fear water. Your denim needs it from time to time and if you're wearing them a lot more than washing them, you're on the right track.
(*might be appropriate to move this to the washing/care thread…)
