Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A joy to read.' You Magazine 'Move over, Marie Kondo, it's all about washing not tidying in 2021 and it's down to one man - Patric Richardson.' The Times 'This slim volume, its breezy pages of tips and anecdotes, stories and, in the back, recipes, is a lovely salve. One would be very fortunate, I think, to be Richardson's friend or neighbour, to share his optimism and joy in life's seemingly small things.' Washington Post 'Look after your laundry, and your soul will look after itself.' W. Somerset Maugham Doing laundry is rarely anyone's favourite 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 pongy 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 career in fashion. How to Love Your Laundry will make you wonder why you ever stressed about ironing, dry cleaning, or (god forbid) a red wine spill on your new shirt. No matter the issue, Richardson is here to help you make laundry miracles happen - wrinkles and stains be damned.
Download or read book Laundry written by Cheryl Mendelson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Cheryl Mendelson, laundering is the best part of housekeeping. It’s full of physical pleasures—the look of favorite clothes restored to freshness and beauty, the tactile satisfaction of crisp linens in beautifully folded stacks. Good laundering preserves things you love and protects your pocketbook. It doesn’t take much time or effort. What it takes is knowledge, and Laundry is the comprehensive, entertaining, and inspiring book on the art of laundering. Culled from the bestselling Home Comforts, with revised and updated information and a new introduction, Laundry is an indispensable guide to caring for all the cloth in one’s home: from kitchen rags to bedding, hand-washables, and baby clothes to vintage linens. Mendelson offers detailed guidance on when to disregard labels, removing stains, making environmentally informed choices, sewing, and storing clothing and fabrics. A much-needed antidote to the standard-issue how-to manual, Laundry celebrates the satisfactions of ironing, folding, and caring for clothes and linens. Both pragmatic and eloquent, Mendelson provides beginning and veteran homemakers with a seamless combination of reliable instruction, time-tested advice, and fascinating personal narrative. As a farm girl in Pennsylvania, Mendelson—who is a philosopher, lawyer, and professor, as well as a homemaker, wife, and mother—received a classic domestic education from her grandmothers, aunts, and mother. Laundry combines the best of the traditional lore they taught her with the latest in technical and scientific information. Writing with infectious love and respect for her subject, Mendelson is sure to instill in readers a newfound affection and appreciation for the art of laundering.

Download or read book Clean Laundry and Self Love written by Corielynn Griego and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clean Laundry and Self-Love is a short memoir about how the author, Corie Lynn Griego, overcame tremendous life challenges. Corielynn is a mother, wife, Air Force Veteran, and business owner of a consulting company in Gilbert, Arizona. Corie is a survivor of PTSD, rape, and childhood trauma who found healing through a program offered to Veterans and First Responders called Save A Warrior. After her husband Eric was shot in the neck in Afghanistan, Corie left the Air Force to become his full-time caregiver at just 20 years old. The devasting effects of Post-Traumatic Stress seeped into her marriage, leading her and her family down an almost decade-long path of continuous trauma that resulted in being lost, hopeless, and ready to give up on life. As a survivor of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, Corie is eager to spread the word about the program that helped her reclaim her life. The rate of suicide among veterans and first responders is staggering, and Corie hopes to share her story in the most vulnerable manner will allow others to know they are not alone and that they, too, are worthy of finding peace. Corie and her husband Eric have joined Save A Warrior (S.A.W) as Ambassadors in the hopes of carrying out the mission of leaving no one behind. Save A Warrior's promise is "We Came Back For You," and Corie has dedicated a portion of the proceeds of this memoir in a donation to sponsoring others through the "Intensive Integrated Retreat" (IIR) program given freely to those who apply to Save A Warrior. "Human beings are only afraid of two things, loud noises and falling down. The rest is a story!""The purpose of being conscious is connection and love.""The degree to which you can be, with that with which you cannot be, is the degree to which you will experience freedom, power, and full self-expression.""The key to freedom is in the pain. Be with it. Feel it. Let it hurt. Then return yourself back to love. You deserve it."
