Unstitch one finger and give them back to the Snap Off man to replace

try a degreaser in a bowl of hot water.

My other half says your missus should be doing as she's told and washing them for you. He says if she doesn't you should put her in the washer. He is sleeping on the sofa tonight lol

how long do they last thou? my snap on ones cost twice as much, and they dont look as hard wearing to me....

i soaked them in water with washing powder in last night, and blasted them with hose this morning, they are a fair bit cleaner, will try degreaser next thou.
