St. Paul author and businessman and laundry-loving guy Patric Richardson has a new series streaming on Discovery+. “The Laundry Guy” helps people deal with stains and other textile troubles. The series runs through April 21, and each weekend until then, Richardson is offering a tip from “The Laundry Guy.” (Richardson’s new book, “Laundry Love” was published last week.)
NO TO STATIC, YES TO SOFT
“Everyone loves laundry that doesn’t have static and is soft, but no one should love the artificial dyes and chemicals of dryer sheets and fabric softeners. When you are ready to toss your clothes into the dryer, here is a fun tip: Use a couple of wool balls and a ball of aluminum foil!
“The wool balls cause your clothes to tumble more and dry faster so you can use a shorter cycle and the aluminum foil ball removes static like a pro. To make a ball of aluminum foil, take a one-yard piece of foil and make a ball roughly the size of a tennis ball. When it shrinks to the size of a walnut, about 60 loads later, recycle and start over. If you love scent, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to a ball before you toss it in (I scent my sheets with peppermint and sleep like a baby).
“Keeping the softener and dryer sheets at bay allows your clothes to stay soft and breathable and, as we head into spring … who doesn’t want that?!”
