Upon reviewing his book Laundry Love: Finding Joy in a Common Chore, the Washington Post wrote about Patric Richardson: “One would be very fortunate, I think, to be Richardson’s friend or neighbor, share his optimism and joy in life’s seemingly small things.”

That’s exactly how I felt while reading Patric’s book, and later while watching his show on the Discovery Channel. The man simply exudes cheer. I could watch him wash clothes all day long and feel incredibly positive while doing so.

Why should any of you booze fans care about Laundry Love, the new bestseller that shot to the top of the Amazon charts after Kelly Ripa went gaga for it on the air? Because there’s a lot of alcohol involved.

First off, you’ll never look at vodka the same way again once you realize what it can do for your clothes.

Second, there’s not a wine professional out there who hasn’t swirled and spit at a Bordeaux tasting, accidentally spraying their favorite garment with the blowback. Patric can tell you how to take those red dots right out.

Third, Patric is from Kentucky and he LOVES Bourbon. So we’re gonna talk about that tomorrow as well.

But, most importantly, if you even remotely care about your clothes and how you look, Patric’s book can save you a fortune in dry cleaning bills. Speaking with him yesterday afternoon, I learned that California’s regulation of dry cleaning chemicals results in higher fees, so I’m thrilled to be doing some of this on my own now.

“Now you can use that money to buy more clothes!” he told me with a huge smile.

Join us at 4 PM tomorrow over at @missionliquor on Instagram to hear more from Patric. You won’t want to miss it.
