Reviews for House Love: A Joyful Guide To Cleaning, Organizing, And Loving The Home You're In

I have never thought about a book more than this book...Patric is going to be the Ina Garten of laundry...My towels have never been so fluffy. -- Good Day L.A. on Laundry Love This slim volume, its breezy pages of tips and anecdotes, stories and, in the back, recipes, is a lovely salve. 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. -- Washington Post on Laundry Love A cheery and thorough guide to all things laundry . . . Richardson's love for doing laundry is so infectious that readers just might find themselves dreading this mundane chore a bit less. -- Publishers Weekly on Laundry Love Who would have dreamed a book on laundry could be so entertaining and educational? . . . Along the way is a narrative enhanced by personal anecdotes as well as helpful tips and lists . . . It's truth in print that laundry just might become your new best hobby. -- Booklist on Laundry Love
