      I grated most of my fels for the only pair of jeans I actually washed(not just soaked) in….pffff, 1.5-2 years ha. I really need to wash all most of my jeans.

      Actually found this little article in hopes of making grating easier. All you need is a microwave and food grater. Not a fan of hand grating the bar.

      Going to pick up this cheap food grater from Wallyworld tomorrow sometime.

        Worth the $18 for the food processor. Much easier and no reason not to wash some jeans tomorrow.

        Thanks @Filthy25ozJunkie for the info and turning me into feels naptha. Smells great too!

          Last time I just chopped up the bar and used the food chopper. This time I microwaved maybe 1/3 or 1/2 a bar, microwaved it for 1.5 min, then broke it up by hand and used the food chopper. Much better!

              Throw in washing machine
              Drink wodka
              Hangdry
              Sleep
              Hangover
              Dry jeans

              I do this plus add soap and fabric softener, which so far I have not noticed any softening in the fabric.

                @Vance14 Hi Vance! Welcome to the forum! I made it home from Massachusetts. So tomorrow I will send you those UHR measurements. I'm so glad you're here now.

                  That's great, thanks! I already talked to my son about going up to the Self Edge store to get him a pair of Iron Hearts.  Just to have another pair in the family!

                    So I used the @Filthy Wash Method for the first time the other day, awesome thank you very much Filthy. It was new and unusual behavior on my part, and my wife was side-eyeing me as I was washing my jeans, finally she said to me “What the f*** are you doing? Having bathtub sex with your jeans?”  😃
                    So it’s the Filthy Wash Method aka Bathtub Sex with Your Jeans  😃

                          I discovered a great way to keep the jeans submerged while soaking, I’m sorry you’re not here to see it
