Every now and then, we go through our older laundry videos on our YouTube channel and look at the comments. We like to find the laundry conundrums that the Clean My Space nation is experiencing and show you how to solve them.
I want to provide the Clean My Space...
One of the things I have started to do as part of #adulting, is changing over my fallwinter wardrobe to springsummer and vice-versa. I never used to see the value in doing this; it felt time-consuming and unimportant. However, my closet was starting to explode with clothes and I was struggling with...
We like to think of ourselves as the New York Times of the cleaning world. Our finger is always on the pulse of cleaning trends, ready to pounce on the latest, biggest cleaning story. OK, I’m exaggerating. But we do like to keep our ears to the ground for...
Hey, laundry lovers (and haters)! Whether laundry day is your least favorite day of the week or the day you look forward to the most (and if it is, who are you?!), you need to know the controls on your washing machine.

Its annual event (online and otherwise) features tons of panels, events, and speakers, designed to educate and inspire people...
2010 was the first time we in North America saw the modern-day laundry detergent packs (also referred to as packets, pods, paks, pacs) come on the market. They looked cute and colorful, and we were told they'd make doing laundry easier. But they were, perhaps, a little confusing.

Chad and I recently got back from three blissful weeks in California, going from the Youtube conference in Palm Springs to Santa Monica, to San Diego, Carmel, and Napa. We squeezed in loads of R&R, time with friends, and good meals; there might have been some wine consumed. In any...
Look, I don’t have great luck with acquiring washing machines and dryers. I know how to use them, I know how to clean them, but when I move into a new home, I tend to acquire the most rickety laundry machines.
