Laundry pod hack: Skip the tiny specialized mesh bags, a regular mesh bag (or even a sock!) works just as well to help pods dissolve fully.

Bonus: mesh bags are perfect for protecting delicates and keeping socks paired up in the wash.

Last tip: always drop your pod into the drum first, then load your clothes on top. Hope this helps!

I’m a 4th generation dry cleaner, and this is my must-have lineup for the laundry room, ranked from most to least important:

1) Oxygen bleach — hydrogen peroxide or a powdered product
2) Enzymatic stain pretreatment
3) Powdered laundry booster — washing soda, borax, and sodium percarbonate
4) Mesh bags — protect delicates and stop you from losing socks
5) Laundry sanitizer — the odor removal king
6) Dryer balls — cut drying time by 5-10%
7) Specialty detergent for animal fibers — cashmere, silk, etc.
8) Soft bristle brush — for tamping stains and pretreatments
9) Acidic rinse — replaces fabric softener

If you’ve got most of these and know how to actually use them, you’re set up for success. This combo lets you tackle pretty much any stain or garment that comes your way.

Honestly, you’d probably never need to watch my content again.

We see it every single day, beautiful garments turned away because of a few avoidable mistakes.

Rubbing instead of blotting, pretreating stains you’re not sure about, storing clothes with stains still on them, hanging knitwear, using chlorine bleach, and hand washing wool “dry clean only” pieces in the machine.

Small habits, big damage. Save this so you don’t make these mistakes at home!!

Luxury fashion is cosplaying as the working class. Prada, Dior, and Brunello Cucinelli are now proudly selling garments with wrinkles, pulls, visible shrinkage, and puckering — design choices that used to be exactly what we’d fix.

All of these garments were seen at these brands recent showrooms too!

It’s a nightmare for dry cleaners. We now have to tell the difference between a flaw and a $3,000 “feature.” I just don’t get it sometimes.

Shoutout for sending over this certified sick P&G laundry vintage tee. Naturally, had to give it the full restoration treatment.

The process:

1) Water + dish soap (a surfactant) to rehydrate and loosen everything up

2) Enzymatic stain remover pretreat, probably oxidized body oil and food stains, gotta break those down

3) Wash cycle: powdered oxygen bleach + detergent + sanitizer (it’s pre-loved, gotta be safe)

4) Color restoration: 3% hydrogen peroxide spray + air dry in the shade (quick but less effective) OR (what I did): hot water + powdered oxygen bleach soak overnight in a bucket, then rewash

Results: dopeeee. Swipe to see the difference.

Not all detergents are made equal. If you’re rewashing clothes, washing on high heat, or using more detergent than recommended - your detergent isn’t working hard enough. (And it’s not your fault.) Here’s what actually separates a high-performing detergent like from the rest:

Multi-enzyme system: enzymes break down big, stubborn stain molecules into smaller pieces so water can actually wash them away - think of them like the enzymes your body uses to digest food.

Surfactant blends: the real engine. Anionic and nonionic surfactants surround and capture stains, bridging the gap between oil and water so everything rinses clean.

Anti-redeposition agents: ever gotten a stain “out” only for your clothes to look dull and grey? That’s redeposition - dirt lifted off one spot settling somewhere else. Quality detergents prevent this.

And don’t forget the invisible stuff: sweat, odor, and buildup you can’t see but definitely feel. Truly high-performance detergents like those from get it right the first time, even in cold water. It’s not one magic ingredient - it’s a finely tuned system working together.

Front loaders clean better than top loaders. Here’s why: GRAVITY!!!

They tumble clothes up and down, creating real scrubbing action, unlike top loaders where clothes just slosh around in water. There’s a reason every laundromat and professional operation use front loaders.

This is my guess as to your biggest front loader concerns:

Smelly drum? Run a tub clean cycle monthly with a washing machine tablet + sanitizing spray on the gaskets. Leave the door open between washes.

Not enough water? That’s actually the point. Too much water kills the scrubbing action. Only use deep fill for an oxygen bleach soak.

Drop your front loader questions below.

I tested Ariel laundry detergent from 7 countries across 4 continents. Here’s how they ranked:

Japan — Snoopy Edition 60.0: Disappointing, but it does sanitize and wins cutest bottle.

Germany — Powder 72.7: Quite nice, probably a good whitening product when used as a soaking treatment.

Brazil — with Downy 10.6: Expected low due to the softener, but not this low. OMO also underperformed, something is off with those formulations.

England: Pods 81.7, Gel 95.3: The gel smashed it, second best overall.

Spain — Platinum Pods 85.9: Bronze medal.

Vietnam — Powder (top loader formula) 42.2/65: Designed for hand wash and top loaders; normalized against my front loader that jumps to ~65. Also has antibacterial claims.

USA / Mexico — 2x Powder: No. 1 top performer, inexpensive, but loaded with fragrance. Please make a Free & Clear version.

Tide or OMO next? Send me products from around the world via IG. Thanks!

This is how we restored a vintage wedding dress back to its former glory!!!

From tough yellow oxidized stains to looking brand new, the process involves: dry cleaning to remove body oils, wet cleaning, oxygen bleach soaking, hand-spotting, and a hydrogen peroxide finish.

The amount of work that goes into wedding dress restoration is insane, but so worth it. Next up: tackling dirty hemlines, and trust me, it’s even more impressive!

Part 5 of 5: Here is a MASSIVE laundry detergent haul from mostly Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, and China!

Cliff was kind enough to send 21 products from his trip to Asia which is far far far too generous. It was a real joy to get to unbox and take a look at all of them. I am excited to test them and see how they do.
