I am pretty happy with the results. They feel really clean, soft, and smell great. I think it does better than my Woolite Dark and Dr Bronners.

Another satisfied customer. I tested it for a long while before I recommended it. I think it is great stuff. You can also add a few tablespoons of 20 Mule Team Borax if your garment is super dirty and dingy.

I am curious now!

@Filthy25ozJunkie, thanks a lot for sharing your experience regarding washing our loved denim. Since I am fairly new to the hole topic I am eager to learn how to wash and get the most out of the denim!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Sure thing

I know this is a super old thread but I came across it in a search and it seems potentially helpful to me.

@Filthy have you ever used this stuff on overdyed denim? I got some avocado on a pair of 666s after one slipped out of my hand as I was cutting it up. Since they’re basically all fat, it left a nice oily stain that didn’t come out with a wash.

Was thinking of spot treating with Dawn since that usually works for me on oily stains — I just have a slight worry it could lighten the overdye and just leave a different sort of spot in the old one’s place. Curious if you’ve used the naphtha bar for this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance!

I have not because I don't have any overdyed stuff. But it should be okay. I wash my jeans in Dawn all the time. I made this thread because the Fels Naptha seems a lot like Samurai Thunder soap. But way cheaper. It smells better too.

Rad — thanks, man! I figured it’d probably be ok, never had Dawn mess anything else up but always a good thing to double check and ask. I’m gonna snag a bar of this stuff too, looks like it’ll be perfect to have around.

I love the way naphtha smells. Reminds me of being a little pyro
