From the color of that water, I'd guess that that dude's clothes stunk till they were washed 3 times and the washer was never quite right again.

As someone who used to work in wastewater treatment? Those clothes go in the trash, maybe even in a burn barrel. Boots might too. It doesn't come out. It'll haunt you to the end of your days, which is why you shop for work clothes at the thrift store.

Fell in a waste lagoon once, the outfit was a loss and the work truck never smelled good again.

That is both a better and worse outcome than I expected.
