Laundry – September 2018

Laundry. There’s so much more to it than just washing clothes. The
happiness of a favourite garment freshly restored and ready to wear;
the satisfaction of crisp, clean linens expertly folded; the joy of a simple
task done well. Good laundering is caring for things that you love and
taking a more mindful approach to the home. This doesn’t always
have to involve time and effort, but it does take knowledge. And that’s
where Laundry magazine steps in. We debunk the myths, reveal the
forgotten arts that really work and combine them with modern-day,
expert techniques. When to wash jeans; how to clean sneakers; clever
stain removers; folding and storing clothing; time-saving products and
equipment and recipes for safe, natural cleaning solutions.
And we want to give you more than simply practical advice. Alongside
the hints and tips we explore the ecological impact of washing
and drying clothes; champion cultural pioneers and revolutionary
start-ups; showcase stylish launderettes around the world and even
speak to experimental music-makers.
From advice on where to house your washing machine to using the sun’s
rays to clean your woollens, we hope this magazine will inspire you
to make a fresh start. Just a few simple changes and your home can
be clean, sparkling and fragrant, as well as environmentally friendly.
Beautiful, useful and above all entertaining, Laundry is more than just a
how-to manual – it’s a cleaning bible for modern life, as at home on your
coffee table as it is on your utility worktop. Use it to breeze through your
chores (displaying our free ‘Laundry Rules!’ artwork on a wall is a great
place to start), organise your home and brighten up your life.
