        I just used this soap for the first time today.

        Had some white t shirts with stains. All I did was wet the stain, rub the bar of soap on the stain, then wash the shirts as normal.

        Took the entire stain out, so I'm happy and impressed with this soap! I imagine it does a good number on denim.

          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!

                  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
