E221: How to find joy in doing your laundry and cleaning your home with Patric Richardson

The Art of Living Well Podcast®

Before there was a TV show and before there was a book, Patric Richardson loved laundry. As a child, Richardson loved clothes, both wearing them and their care. He studied merchandising apparel and textiles at the University of Kentucky and then left for an incredible career in luxury fashion at McAlpins, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom.

Richardson opened his designer vintage store, Mona Williams, in 2013, and embarked on the next step of his journey. Richardson started sharing his expertise at his much-talked-about and often sold-out Laundry Camps, where he teaches people new and better ways to care for all of their apparel and home textiles. These camps sparked a revolution, prompting a book, Laundry Love, now in its fourth printing, and a television show, The Laundry Guy, on HGTV and Discovery+. Most recently, Richardson published his second book, House Love. Richardson has been featured in both local and national media-including Live with Kelly and Ryan, The Washington Post, Good Morning L.A., the Wall Street Journal, NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, The New York Times, just to name a few.

In this episode you will learn:

• How to reframe doing laundry and cleaning into an act of love to infuse moments of joy.

• The biggest issues Patric sees with people doing laundry, (hint: it will save you money).

• Why you only ever need to use the quick cycle in warm water to wash all of your clothes.
• How using laundry bags will eliminate the need to ever bring your clothes to the dry cleaners.
• How to use oxygen bleach to keep your clothes smelling great, maintain their stretch and clean your house.
• How to remove stubborn stains and odors from your clothes.

This was such a fun and practical conversation, and we believe it will transform your daily life.
