As a cleaning and lifestyle writer, Rebecca Jones, a writer for Southern Living magazine, specially went to read Patrick. Patric Richardson's book "Laundry Love: Finding Joy in a Common Chore", I want to know how the two words "laundry" and "love" can appear at the same time in the title of a book.
Richardson cleverly combined the history of laundry with his personal household anecdotes in a humorous way; although she did not make Jones "fall in love" with laundry, she still learned some tips from the book to change the way he did laundry, which successfully alleviated Jones' dislike of laundry.
Tips for changing the laundry processRichardson recommends using the "Quick" or "Quick Wash" program on the washing machine to wash clothes. Richardson explained that due to technological advancements in today's washing machines, even the shortest wash cycle can wash clothes and bed sheets very clean, just like other washing programs. Choosing quick wash not only simplifies the laundry process, but also saves time.
Save timeWhen washing clothes, the waiting time is really torturous; most people will do other household chores while the washing machine is running; but the problem is that it is easy to accidentally forget the clothes in the washing machine, which will cause the clothes to become moldy. The laundry chores that originally only took a short time to complete now have to take twice as long, or even several days, to wash away the moldy smell. For an ordinary washing machine on the market now, the quick wash mode usually only takes 20 to 40 minutes, while the normal or even deep cleaning mode may take 1 to 1.5 hours.
Prolong the life of clothingRichardson said that using the fast washing program of the washing machine can actually extend the life of the clothing; because the continuous friction between the clothing fabrics will accelerate wear, so if the washing time is too long, such as in the normal or deep cleaning program, it will accelerate the wear rate of the clothing fibers; whether it is washed in the washing machine Clothes and bedding will eventually wear out due to daily wear; therefore, in order to keep new clothes in the best condition, it is best to wash them less often. If they are not too dirty, you can even wear them a few more times before washing them; ideally, the shorter the time the clothes stay in the washing machine, the more intact the fibers will be and the less pilling will occur.
