How old were YOU when you learned Laundry 101?

  • Too many adults grow up without knowing how to do laundry. My mom taught me how to do laundry pretty early on. I was about 7 or 8 when I first learned how to separate the clothes and choose the correct settings.

    During my freshman year of college, I was one of the few in my dorm that knew how to wash their clothes properly. In my spare time, I would hold “wash-it-yourself” seminars at the Laundromat, which would include live demonstrations and a Q&A segment at the end. Laundry 101 is a class everyone should take in life… but don’t wait until you leave home to take it!
