The Laundry Guy

I was so inspired by Patric that I wrote my very first review on IMDb. I didn't notice the star rating system until after I hit the submit button (please forgive me if that one gets posted with 0 stars).

My first ever review, sans stars, basically said this: while I don't care too much for the history or back story for each article of clothing or item Patric is cleaning, how he is cleaning has made me take note!

On the way out of my house are laundry pods, fabric softener, dryer sheets and bleach. On the way in are laundry flakes, bleach alternative, wool dryer balls, washing soda and horsehair laundry brushes.

I was so inspired by this series that I bought Patric's book, "Laundry Love." That book is an easy read, which now has 2 bookmarks, a dog ear, and I'm seriously considering a highlighter. The book does have some fluff (I mean, how many words do you need for a laundry book?,) but as a bonus, also has family recipes at the end. This book is now my 'Laundry Bible."

The realization that I can wash everything at home, and I do mean everything, is life changing. Once I get a good steam iron, I'll be breaking up with my dry cleaner.

I'd love this series to be more like Patric's laundry camps, featuring a stain or two each episode. Also, he can focus on things like soap. What if we can't find laundry flakes? What are good alternatives? What stain soaps are good? And maybe demo some good steam irons for a range of budgets.

While I think the format of this show can be tweaked, I find the information invaluable. And since I keep looking for more episodes, I'm giving this 9 stars.
