Sort your smalls, save the planet and never dry clean anything ever again

'Look after your laundry, and your soul will look after itself' W. Somerset Maugham

Doing laundry is rarely anyone's favorite task. But to Patric Richardson, laundry isn't just fun - it's a way of life.

Sorting your laundry? It's not all about whites and darks. Pondering the wash cycles? Every load, even delicates, should be washed using express or quick-wash on warm. Facing expensive dry cleaning bills? You'll learn how to wash everything - yes everything - at home. And those basically clean but smelly clothes? Richardson has a secret for freshening those too (hint: it involves your drinks cabinet).

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 humour, real-life laundry stories, and lessons from his Kentucky upbringing and career in fashion.

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