Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Your clothes are bossy, and they want to tell you what to do. But you’ll learn how to wash all your textiles at home, including cashmere sweaters, wool suits, social dresses, and whatever else you can think of. #2 The first real garment I ever owned was a camel hair overcoat purchased by my mom. I was extremely lucky to have been raised by women who loved me and supported my interests. I learned how to care for others’ clothes, and it changed my attitude about laundry from a chore to a love. #3 Granny Dude was the person who taught me the most about fashion. She was modern and fashion forward, and she loved buying beautiful clothes. She was the perfect role model for a budding snappy dresser such as myself. #4 You will need the following supplies to start your journey: soap flakes or a high-quality, plant-based liquid laundry soap that’s free of petroleum, phosphate, phthalates, and parabens; bleach alternative; a bottle of bleach alternative; washing soda; a small laundry brush; a laundry soap bar; a spray bottle filled with 50 percent white vinegar and 50 percent water; a small bottle of cheap vodka; and a yard of aluminum foil.

Book Description
'A joy to read.' You Magazine 'Move over, Marie Kondo, it's all about washing not tidying in 2021 and it's down to one man - Patric Richardson.' The Times 'This slim volume, its breezy pages of tips and anecdotes, stories and, in the back, recipes, is a lovely salve. One would be very fortunate, I think, to be Richardson's friend or neighbour, to share his optimism and joy in life's seemingly small things.' Washington Post 'Look after your laundry, and your soul will look after itself.' W. Somerset Maugham Doing laundry is rarely anyone's favourite task. But to Patric Richardson, laundry isn't just fun - it's a way of life. Sorting your laundry? It's not all about whites and darks. Pondering the wash cycles? Every load, even delicates, should be washed using express or quick-wash on warm. Facing expensive dry cleaning bills? You'll learn how to wash everything - yes everything - at home. And those basically clean but pongy clothes? Richardson has a secret for freshening those too (hint: it involves your drinks cabinet). Changing your relationship with laundry can also change your life. Richardson's handy advice shows us how to save time and money (and the planet!) with our laundry - and he intersperses it all with a healthy dose of humour, real-life laundry stories, and lessons from his career in fashion. How to Love Your Laundry will make you wonder why you ever stressed about ironing, dry cleaning, or (god forbid) a red wine spill on your new shirt. No matter the issue, Richardson is here to help you make laundry miracles happen - wrinkles and stains be damned.

The Butler's Guide to Running the Home and Other Graces
Author: Stanley Ager
Publisher: Potter Style
ISBN: 0385344716
Category : House & Home
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Perched on an island off the shores of Cornwall, England, the soaring castle of St. Michael’s Mount has been home to the St. Aubyn family since 1647. For nearly thirty years, Stanley Ager, one of the most esteemed butlers of the twentieth century, ensured that St. Michael’s Mount was an impeccable place to live and a gracious and welcoming one for guests to visit. Revered by everyone from royalty to the estate staff, Stanley Ager considered it his calling to run a home gracefully and efficiently. Several of the men whom he trained at St. Michael’s Mount went on to serve in the Royal Household at Buckingham Palace and at British embassies throughout the world. But you don’t need a manor to benefit from Ager’s wisdom on homekeeping. This carefully detailed, charmingly illustrated, eminently useful volume offers important insights and techniques, including how to: Wipe a glass—or a chandelier—until it sparkles *** Fold napkins precisely—in six different ways *** Polish furniture—or silver—to a mirror finish *** Lay a beautiful table and serve a meal impeccably *** Brush, buff, and maintain any manner of clothes and footwear *** Fold and pack for a trip—for business or pleasure *** Select and pour wine *** Stage “impromptu” romantic picnics *** And, among other graces, open a door soundlessly, roll an umbrella perfectly, and iron a newspaper

The Stuff of Family Life
Author: Michelle Janning
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442254807
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Does putting your smartphone on the dinner table impact your relationships? How does where you place your TV in your home affect your family? The Stuff of Family Life takes readers inside the changing world of families through a unique examination of their stuff. From digital family photo albums to the growing popularity of “man caves,” author Michelle Janning looks at not only what large demographic studies say about family dynamics but also what our lives—and the stuff in them—say about how we relate to each other. The book takes readers through various phases of family life, including dating, marriage, parenting, divorce, and aging, while paying attention to how our choices about our spaces and objects impact our lives. Janning has joked, “I'm not a social scientist who uses large national datasets to illustrate family life; I’m the social scientist who asks people to examine what’s in their underwear drawers to tell stories about their family life.” From underwear drawers to calendars, The Stuff of Family Life offers an illuminating and entertaining look at the complexities of American families today.
