But you’ll learn how to wash all your textiles at home, including cashmere sweaters, wool suits, social dresses, and whatever else you can think of.#2 The first real garment I ever owned was a camel hair overcoat purchased by my mom. I was extremely lucky to have been raised by women who loved me and supported my interests. I learned how to care for others’ clothes, and it changed my attitude about laundry from a chore to a love.#3 Granny Dude was the person who taught me the most about fashion. She was modern and fashion forward, and she loved buying beautiful clothes. She was the perfect role model for a budding snappy dresser such as myself.#4 You will need the following supplies to start your journey: soap flakes or a high-quality, plant-based liquid laundry soap that’s free of petroleum, phosphate, phthalates, and parabens; bleach alternative; a bottle of bleach alternative; washing soda; a small laundry brush; a laundry soap bar; a spray bottle filled with 50 percent white vinegar and 50 percent water; a small bottle of cheap vodka; and a yard of aluminum foil.
