COMMUNITY FAVORITES: Episode 152: Laundry Quandaries (part 1) with Maggie and Traci

This episode is part one of two about laundry and clothing care. You can find the other episode as episode 153 in your feed!

It's the year of Earth Logic here at Clotheshorse, where we are planning to reduce our consumption of brand new clothing by 75%!
It's essential that we get as much wear as possible out of clothes. And how we wash, dry, and deal with those stains is a big part of making our clothing last longer.  Amanda is joined by Maggie and Traci to solve your laundry quandaries.  In this episode, we will be sharing our own laundry trauma, and then we will get into some of the biggest questions you had:  detergent and detergent pods, line drying, shrinking, dealing with pills, and water temperature.  We’ll also share our advice (some of it from Maggie’s laundry magician mom Peggy) about the essentials you should keep on hand to solve your own laundry quandaries!

"Does the film around detergent pods really biodegrade? A debate is raging," Allyson Chiu, Washington Post.
