Book Review – Laundry Love: Finding Joy in a Common Chore

September 26, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

Laundry isn’t everyone’s favourite chore. Laundry isn’t simply a hobby for Patric Richardson; it’s a way of life. He’s ready to offer his secrets, techniques, and hacks after years of conducting Laundry Camp at the Mall of America for thousands of eager trainees, bringing surprise and joy to this often hated task.

Are you sorting your clothes? Whites and darks aren’t the only options. Are you thinking about the wash cycles? Every load, including delicates, should be washed on warm with express or quick-wash. Do you have a lot of dry cleaning bills to pay? You’ll learn how to wash everything at home, and I mean everything. And what about those mostly clean but stench-free clothes? Richardson has a trick for reviving them as well (hint: it involves vodka, not soap)

Changing your relationship with laundry can also change your life. Richardson’s handy advice shows us how to save time and money (and the planet!) with our laundry―and he intersperses it all with a healthy dose of humor, real-life laundry stories, and lessons from his Appalachian upbringing and career in fashion.

Laundry Love will make you wonder why you ever stressed about ironing, dry cleaning, or (god forbid) red wine spills on your new couch. No matter the issue, Richardson is here to help you make laundry miracles happen―wrinkles and stains be damne
