In a age of trashy reality shows. This is a show that actually teaches you some old and new tricks to get items clean. That you otherwise may have thought were either stained for good, or way beyond hope. Plus the show is hosted by someone who seems to be a genuine caring person. Who wants nothing more than to help people brighten and restore clothing or other items that have a great deal of emotional meaning to them. I'm so glad I found this show.

Soothing, quaint and learned a lot
hkrambo26 April 2021
Everyone complaining about this show either hasn't seen it or didn't really give it a chance or understand it. Stains are a thing and you can't just throw everything in the washer with bleach. Dry cleaners are expensive. I'm now being more thoughtful and careful about how to preserve and extend the life of different textiles and not just throwing something away.
Patric went to school for fashion and textiles and owned a store for years that sold vintage chanel and halston so he's figured it all out for us. He is sweet and kind and genuine and it's just nice to spend a half hour watching a very nice man being nice to other people, someone you could only be so lucky to have dinner or drinks with. He also does crafts, food and cocktails, all with a vintage mindset. It's a treat.

Bottom of the Barrel TV

I saw this show on the guide on my TV and to be honest, it sounds like a joke. I didn't think it could really be what it sounds like. I turned it on, and it was literally a man showing a woman how to wash an old silk garment.
Is this actually where we are as a society that this is considered interesting? Laundry is one of the most uninteresting activities. That's why we built machines to do it for us. Why would I want to watch a show about someone washing other peoples' clothes? I love HGTV, but this show is a miss, for sure.

Charming and informative

The Laundry Guy is warm and wholesome.
Keeping what we own maintained and in good repair is so important. And laundry has always been something I neglect.
How many times have I told myself, "I'll just buy another one."
Not any more!
So much fun.
* My thought on the one star reviews: if you're looking for reality tv about terrible people treating each other horribly, shows like this and the British Baking Show are not going to be your cup of tea.

Why am I not surprised?

This is what our country has become.
At the beginning of the pandemic, people flocked to the stores to buy up all the toilet paper. Not canned good. Not bottled water. Not blankets, clothes, other foods, just... Toilet paper.
And now, towards the end of it, we have a show about laundry.
I'm sure the man in it is a nice enough man, and he does look like he could be everyone's favorite neighbor or uncle, but, really? A show ALL about doing your laundry?
This is a sad, sad commentary about the state of our world, that this is a show and that should the end of the earth come, people would be out buying toilet paper.
The movie Idiocracy is making sense, more and more, every day.

Fantastic ! Love, Love, Love this show!

Totally a refreshing new experience. I mean after all do I really need to see yet ANOTHER home improvement show? Ugh. To the producers: Not everyone in America is remodeling there homes, but, we are loving and cherishing the linens we own, passed from one generation to another!!
This is so informative and entertaining. My only criticism would be a little more of Patric's laundry magic and a little less of the history on each piece ( think Snoopy). I find him interesting and VERY knowlegable, I NEED the information he has to give!
Maybe do a story on how to get stains out of our antique white/ecru linens. I would bet 75% or more of American households have these things!

The Bottom of the Laundry Basket

Just when you thought television programs could not get more asinine, along comes this idiotic program. It is laundry, people, one of the most boring chores out there. I would rather watch paint dry than see another minute of this hot, wet mess.

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.

Worth it, I want more please

I am so inspired by Patric! To be clear, I don't care too much about the history or back story of each article of clothing or item he is cleaning. But how he is cleaning each item has made me sit up and take note! On the way out of my house are laundry pods, fabric softener and dryer sheets. On the way in are laundry flakes, oxygen bleach, washing soda, wool dryer balls and horsehair stain brushes.
I find Patric to be fun, interesting and sincere. So I ordered his book, which now has 2 bookmarks and a dog ear and I'm seriously considering a highlighter. It was a very easy read, had a little fluff, (I mean, how many words can you use on a laundry book?!) and as a bonus, has family recipes at the end. It is now my "Laundry Bible." The thought that I can wash everything, and I mean *everything*, is life changing. No clothing is off limits, and I'll be breaking up with my dry cleaner as soon as I get a good steam iron. While I absolutely do want more episodes, and I keep looking to see if any more are there, I'd love this series to be more like his laundry camp featuring certain stains and showcasing things we can use each week. What if we can't find laundry flakes? What other soaps are good? Can he give us a range of irons and steamers? Options for all budgets! That sort of thing will keep me coming back for more.
