Check out my Amazon storefront where I created a Laundry Routine list with many of the products recommend by Patric and ordered by me.

He has tons of great resources on the site as well.

Patric’s laundry flakes, oxygen bleach and other laundry essentials can be purchased from his website The Laundry Evangelist.

She’s a wealth of information about safe cleaning products and wrote this blog post on eliminating toxins from your laundry.

I purchased Thieves Laundry Soap and essential oils from Annie of the Most Lovely Things blog.

Sources for my new laundry routine essentials: Then I washed the shirt on the express cycle with detergent and oxygen bleach and hung it up to dry. Instead, I pulled out my newly acquired laundry bar soap and tiny brush and gently scrubbed the stain. In the past, I would have tossed it in the dry-cleaning bag. I think it falls into the performance activewear category. Here he is showing Kelly and Ryan the tricks of the trade.īreaking news … Jim came home from golf with a stain on the sleeve of his golf shirt.

In his six-episode Discovery Plus series, The Laundry Guy, he proves it. Turn on your JavaScript to view content Patric prides himself on being able to remove any stain. Who am I? As Martha Stewart says … you must have the proper tools. It’s amazing what a difference a good ironing board makes.Īnd it goes up and down without that hideous screeching that sends everyone running for cover.

The first thing he does after checking into a hotel room is take out the iron to press his fresh-from-the-dry-cleaner shirts.Īt home, if he sees me take out the iron, he nicely tells me to step aside and let a professional handle it. As far as ironing goes, Jim, who travels a lot for work, is an expert ironer. While I admire those who tackle the hand washing of delicate and dry-clean-only clothing, Handwashing special care and ‘dry-clean only’ fabrics.Other areas covered in the book are what I consider advanced maneuvers. I’m using citrus essential oil infused products in my new laundry routine Advanced Maneuvers I also hate what dryer sheets do and what they’re made from – now that I know. This is my biggest hurdle because … static. This is an advanced maneuver and I’m taking baby steps. I don’t wash silk or wool at home, so it won’t be a problem. Oxygen bleach should not be used on silk or wool. I ordered and used it successfully over the weekend. Apparently, it can cause whites to yellow over time. Patric recommends adding detergent directly into the washer on top of the clothes rather than through the dispenser. It’s surprising what a tiny amount is recommended per wash load, and it seems to be doing the job just fine. I started using Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Laundry Soap.Can I tell you a shameful secret? Until recently I was using Tide Pods.
