Thanks for all the comments. Can't bury the clothes because the ground is frozen. I may put a pair of overalls on the same hook as my apron and wear it while in the shop. Maybe a lab coat like you would wear in chem lab would be better to put in there. Heck I could get a few sets of cheap surgical scrubs like the doctors wear and just toss them when the get too bad.
The HE washing machine is a limitation, but I'm not buying a new washing machine just to do shop clothes, but one of those old antique washing machines with the ringer on top would look neat in the shop if it didn't take up much room. Some people I know take thier shop rags to the laundromat so they don't tick off the wife, but I always wonder what happens to the poor person who washes thier good white shirts in the machine right after you leave.
I may try old fashion method like boiling the clothes in an old junk pot on my camp cooker. I started showering with grandmas lye soap a while ago and have never been cleaner in my life. It is really great on my dry skin as well. I found an old laundry soap recipe all over the web and may give it a try, people say it works better than the stuff you get at the store. You shred some lye soap in a cheese grader(when the wife isn't looking) and mix it with borax, and washing soda. I may try it next month ot so when spring starts to come around.
