Laundry Love by Patric Richardson with Karin B. Miller | Book Review

June 10, 2021

Who knew that reading a book would inspire me to get up and do my laundry? Laundry Love: Finding Joy In A Common Chore by Patric Richardson with Karin B. Miller was a delightful read. I am so glad that I picked it up after seeing it featured on Modern Mrs. Darcy. This book helped me to up my laundry game and as domestic as that sounds, I am so excited about that.

Laundry Love is all about Richardson’s love affair with doing the laundry and garments and textiles. I loved it. It felt like a friend dishing to me about different things but also educating me. I learned so much from this book. This includes hacks to save me money on laundry as well as how to get out different stains so as to save me money on clothes. I loved learning how to make my clothes last longer as well as how to lower the environmental impact from doing laundry. I actually felt inspired enough from reading this to come up with a tiktok on laundry hacks learned from this book.

Personally, I will be adding a copy of this book to my collection once it is out in paperback. I feel like it can sit next to Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up on my shelf. Granted, this book absolutely does not espouse a minimalist philosophy about clothes — rather the opposite. I just liked that it got me all pumped up about doing a chore and ultimately improving my home aesthetic — actually doing all the laundry one one day and not leaving clothes unfolded and in baskets. This book strikes the perfect tone for both people who are laundry lovers and laundry beginners.

And well, if you need the inspiration, give it a read. This book is quick to get through and you’ll walk out with practical knowledge. If you’re anything like me, walk from reading this book right to the washing machine, basket in hand, ready to go with your new skills.
