    The compassion in this video made it feel like such a safe space. I’ve done laundry for forever, but there’s tons in life I wish was explained to me for the first time so kindly, these things can seem so overwhelming before you get the hang of it!

  • @ASMR-mom
    @ASMR-mom 11 місяців тому +49

    Please continue making videos explaining basic adult "common knowledge" functions explained so kindly like this with shopping tours and explanations of what each of products are!! These videos could be so helpful to people on the Autism spectrum who commonly struggle with these kinds of care activities! Other ideas could be doing dishes, or simply just making a purchase at a store using different payment, or how to prepare for a job interview. This video was great, so patient and detailed.
    Side note - I laughed so hard at the part you said we'll be doing laundry until we die. It was so real.

  • @em-moonlightbreeze

    Seconding what another commenter said, videos like this are so incredibly helpful for autistic people like myself! We often struggle with these basic everyday tasks and a patient, extremely detailed overview like this is significantly helpful for us. Thank you for making this

    This is super educational and relaxing at the same time. I actually enjoy doing laundry but I’ve made some horrible mistakes in the past 🙈 (red shirt turned everything pink😅)
    But now I have a college kid and a high schooler who are learning all of this. You would be surprised how many kids in my daughters dorm had no idea how to wash their clothes. This would be so helpful for them❤

    You're such a love. I love listening to you. Im so glad we have washers and dryers. When i was very young my mom had one of those ringer washers. She always told me to not touch it for fear my arms would get stuck in the ringer like my cousin, 😮. Then she got a regular washer when she had my brother. Progress! I do my laundry like you! We have the same laundry style!!! 😅😅😅

    I never thought I needed this video from you specifically. I'm graduating in 2024 and scared about having to learn all these things I was never taught before I head out into the real world. this was the best advice I could ever hear. I'm taking notes as I watch this as well, but this is such a help. Ive been watching your channel for years and barely comment, but I needed to let you know just how much you've helped with not only my sleep and relaxation, but now my future. Youre an angel for this video, thank you 🤍

  • @megreads824
    @megreads824 10 місяців тому

    Mary, I will be 40 years old next month and I never knew there was a vacuum attachment you could buy to clean out your lint trap! I clean mine manually before and after each load, but I’ve always been frustrated by the lint that gets stuck at the bottom of the trap and paranoid that my dryer would catch on fire. I hopped right onto Amazon and ordered one. Thank you!!!!

  • @eddieking4621

    Thank you for this knowledge Mary! I have an ADHD laundry tip to share, especially if you struggle with the putting away stage! I used to dread laundry so much but this made laundry a completely neutral task for me.
    I sort my clothes by type before I do laundry like tops, bottoms, and then everything else. I set up three baskets so i’ll usually sort when i put my clothes into the hamper to minimize this task on a day i’m doing laundry. When it comes time to put away the laundry, everything in the load is already sorted (and makes socks much easier when a load is mostly socks, underwear, and towels). I also find this helps with staggering laundry and not needing to do more than one load in a day because you’ll wash your pants load when you’re running low on pants and won’t need to do a couple of loads of laundry because you’re low on just underwear. Hope this helps some fellow ADHDers, or others who dread laundry day!!
    I’d also like to add that if you don’t air dry at least some of your clothes, you should. Aside from taking care of the garment, you have a good excuse to forget about your laundry for a bit and take your time slowly putting things away as they dry😂

    • @BuriedTeeth
      @BuriedTeeth Рік тому +1

      Oh, interesting tip! I have POTS and putting away laundry is an extremely exhausting task 😓 this sounds like it'd help... But yes, taking clothes out of wash to air dry also helps the rest of the load dry faster in the dryer. So while air dry might seem like a cumbersome, unnecessary thing, it can actually be more efficient!

    • @jasmint3207
      @jasmint3207 11 місяців тому +1

      Sounds good, maybe I'll try sorting them like that :)

    • @jasmint3207
      @jasmint3207 11 місяців тому +1

      Dryers also use a lot of energy, so you can save money and ressources by air drying. I air dry everything (unless it's too humid., that can cause mold)

    I love the “laundry style” phrase. It’s so accurate!! My whole family thinks we’re super crunchy because we use Free & Clear detergents. I just have horrendous eczema, but now that I’ve gotten so accustomed to the scentless detergents, I can’t stand the smell of fabric softeners and heavy fragrances. I swear I can also smell when people need to clean their washer due to overuse of softeners.

    • @snowgrrrrrl8650

    My son was a boy scout. At the age of 13 he went to the National Jamboree for 2 weeks. Knowing he would need to do laundry without a machine I taught him how to handwash and sent him off with a bar of Fellsnaptha. His troop made a washing machine with a bucket and a plunger and took turns using it. Not my son, he got his own bucket and hand washed everything. "Mom, I was done way before everyone else and I was cleaner". He did a great job. This was a great video. I enjoy doing laundry and consider myself good at it and I learned some new tips!

    We clean our dryer vent screen every 6 months or so with dish detergent, water and a soft bristle brush. (Remove lint first). Brush both sides well. Rinse with hot water and let dry completely before putting it back in the dryer.
