THE LAUNDRY GUY COMMERCIAL HOW TO

It's just, that's the life of a quality garment, is about fifty washings and fifty dryings. The first thing that I was worried about is you said after fifty washings, you've ruined the piece of clothing forever. When I read your book, I felt like I was doing it all wrong. I have four kids and my husband and me and everybody. I do at least two to four loads of laundry every day, particularly on the weekends. Somebody has to start producing that toy again. Now I'm scouring eBay trying to find another one because I kind of need to recapture that. I didn't even know they made toy little washing machines. Zibby: I love that you got that as a present when you were three. I don't want to watch the washing machine, and I love to watch the washing machine. Then also, who has two hours? If I'm going to spend two hours, I want to read or needlepoint.

They're hard on your clothes, first of all, because you're just beating them to death. If you're a mom, then you have other things to do.

Then you can just go to this quick cycle. The warm water boosts the cleaning power of whatever you're using so that you can shorten the cycle. The reason the express cycle works is actually the warm water. One of the ways you do that is go to the express cycle. I believe that a family of five can do all of their laundry in four and a half hours. The first thing you said that I can do really easily, for instance, is always do an express wash and always wash on warm. You had some tips that are easy to change for my next load of laundry and then some that are more of an investment in the products that I should get, or we all should get, but I'll just take it for me. There's all this time where you really can't do too much else while you're doing the laundry. I do so much laundry, and so I think about this a lot. There was one for a sour cream cake that I might have to just try this weekend. Zibby: I love how you interwove some of the memoir stuff about your family and even those recipes in the back. Once you read you the book, you confidently will throw on your very best jacket to go to the grocery store.

So many people have these beautiful things, and they're afraid to wear them because they're afraid they’ll get a stain on them. I think that's part of the fun of having great clothes. I hope that you confidently wear everything you own. I hope that you wash all of your clothes and you don't send anything to the dry cleaner. When you're done reading the book, I hope that you learn to love Eastern Kentucky and the Appalachians as much as I do. The book actually starts with some early laundry memories that I have. The book actually started with the idea of the women and also my love of laundry, my Granny who was very influential and very important in my life, my mother, my stepmother, and just these other women in how I grew up. Then along the way, it's also a love letter to these women in my life who were very pivotal. It takes you from sorting your clothes to washing to removing stains. Patric: The book, Laundry Love, I believe that you can wash everything you own and that nothing has to go to the dry cleaner.
