For centuries men and women alike have preferred clean clothing over dirty clothing. Cave drawings uncovered in the Mesopotamian Desert wilderness show women heating rocks and rubbing them on fur clothing. Dirty clothing was actually an offense punishable by death in The Code of Hammurabi. A recent archaeological discovery has uncovered the oldest laundromat in recorded history while excavating the ancient city of Ur. Cleverly named Laund-UR-mat, this laundromat, actually started by Abraham's youngest brother Ephraham, is historical proof that even thousands and thousands of years ago, human beings found washing clothes inconvenient and tedious and that people would rather outsource laundry than take the time to do it at home. In this free video series on laundry, James Hardy reveals several tips for cleaning and folding clothes. Hardy begins by explaining the importance of hampers, detergents and hangers. He then discuss ironing techniques, organizational methods, clotheslines, water temperatures, starch and dry cleaning. These lessons are all valuable for keeping clothes fresh and new. Watch these videos and learn several laundry tips today.
