Lots of ways of dealing with it and there's also a lot of different levels of filth on work clothes. No doubt you don't want those in the regular wash or the machine.
I would prefer to hand soak in a bucket or basin, using an appropriate detergent, solvent, stain remover and everyone has their favorite. Depending on how bad the work clothing is, eventually most of it will lift out and I can use the washing machine, mind you, just the work clothes. I try to reserve old clothing for the really nasty stuff like you mention, hand wash and take it from there. If you have a weeks worth, I'd be looking into a spare used washing machine and make sure it does not drain into your septic. Its amazing how much you can get out of the clothing with various methods. Big fan of pre-soaking.
One outfit where I worked, plenty of grease and oil to get on you, we had a uniform service, well worth it.
Looking at it another way, I try to find ways to not get covered in it, if at all possible, as it does make extra work having to launder heavily soiled articles of work clothing. I remember the boss mans mother giving me a reference one time, I spot checked her. They did notice that I would avoid or work a little more carefully so as not to get so filthy, she said, " He's a great driver/operator, just does not like to get dirty" LOL ! Had a friend call while I was on the spare hand set listening LOL ! i laughed like heck after, "she's right!" We had uniforms here eventually, but that never stopped the boss man, from having me crawl under every greasy dirty machine to lube or do what have you. All in good fun, I enjoyed working for them, they always treated me well in the paycheck. I run into him every so often now too, fun to look back, the one thing I remember is being treated fairly and generously, that and being filthy dirty at times, just that kind of work I suppose.

Today's Featured Article - Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you.
