Winter Show Features

Life is messy and stains happen, and that’s when Patric Richardson comes to the rescue. An expert on getting out everything from red wine to rust using household staples, Patric helps his clients tackle stains on sentimental items with stunning results.

Patric Richardson’s love for laundry began at the age of three when Santa gifted him a toy washing machine. Growing up, his passion for clothes led him to study merchandising apparel and textiles at the University of Kentucky before launching a career in luxury fashion at renowned department stores like McAlpins and Neiman Marcus. In 2013, he opened his designer vintage store, Mona Williams, featuring a curated collection of fine laundry products, which caught the attention of local media and shifted his focus to laundry and clothing care. He now shares his expertise through popular Laundry Camps, inspiring his book Laundry Love and the television show The Laundry Guy on HGTV and Discovery+. His work has garnered extensive media coverage, both locally and internationally.
