I actually love doing laundry. There's something so satisfying about have freshly laundered clothes folded neatly. (I also dislike ironing). Thanks for posting this video.
I love your videos, style and natural way of life. I've learned so much from you. I am impressed by your conscience with only doing ads with companies that you believe in and that have integrity. You are a class act and I have much respect for you! xx p.s. you introduced me to Organic Basics and I love the brand
With Ms.Larsson everything in it's place, and every place has what it needs only. I must say that is a simple way to make life worth living. So uncomplicated, because she is continuously working for that to happen. Her happiest time is living for the moment and staying in the comfort of the home she has created. Awesome and lovely, and inspiring indeed!
I never minded doing laundry or ironing always feels like a reset when the house is cleaned, laundry done, feet up with a good book and have something cooking on the stove especially during the fall and winter months ♥ Loved the shape of the hangers used for drying, keeps the shoulders of the tops from having shoulder marks.
I’m getting more interested in being more practical rather than having things for the sake of it. In the Uk, we don’t usually have our laundry machines in the bathroom- I’m starting to think it’s quite practical - if you have a big enough room. Who thought I’d be interested in watching a laundry video. I’m loving your channel too. My cousin lives in Stockholm. I need to visit him to go shopping too :) merry Christmas
Your videos have motivated me to finally declutter my own apartment, especially my kitchen and wardrobe. Somehow I had collected over 40 tshirts over the years and only really wore a handful of them while the rest collected dust. In the kitchen I donated a lot of the stuff I had been gifted and was scared to get rid of. In the end I could get rid of an entire bookshelf worth of assorted stuff, and the shelf itself! Thank you for all the videos with all the little tips and tricks!
Such lovely looking machines and clearly well looked after! Bosch are absolutely excellent sustainable machines considering how well built they are and incredibly easy and cheap to repair :)
I love doing laundry, too. I hang clothes outside in the Texas sun and feel quite confident my clothes are disinfected after a few hours. I spin them in the dryer for 5 minutes to remove lint and soften them.
I just started my morning by watching this .. so satisfying.. thank you for all your wonderful videos. I really appreciate them. You are a calming positive influence from so many miles away.. regards from Washington, US :)
I watched all of your videos, and I appreciate cleaning, decluttering and organizing videos this one the most. They are not only calming and relaxing but also informative in a visually aesthetic way. I watch them when I need to sit down and take a break in the middle of a hectic stressful day or when I get the urge to kick down the door and burn everything down in my teenage boy’s room (I don’t know if it’s a boy thing or a teenager thing or both but his room oftentimes looks like a pig sty and smells like one, too on bad days). I find hope and comfort in your videos like this one that one day my son will move out and I can reclaim my space and make it minimal and beautiful like your apartment :)
Last week, we had incredible weather (20°). So I was able dry on clothesline. And yes, whatever the packaging says: whites have to be washed in hot water. I was given my first own washer 2 weeks ago. Game changer! No bleach, just hot water for whiter whites✨ (Our laundromat is set with 20°water tops)
@@BenitaLarsson I know, right? Here, most washers are build like this: hot, warm (½-½), cold, straight from the pipes. No heather IN the machine (I actually didn't even know they existed untill European friends told me). So you have no real control, therefore the cold water in summer (20°) has nothing to do with the cold water in winter (4°) which arrives straight from the aqueduct. My landlord is responsible for the lowering of the _hot_ cycle. And thanks! Even if it's plugged to my kitchen sink when in use, I'm really happy ☺️
I have doing laundry most of my life and you taught me some great ideas -- thank you! I used to get colorful towels, too, and now I just have white. Easier to keep looking clean and to sanitize.
I sold my dryer years ago as I wasn't using it. I prefer to dry my clothes outside in the sunshine and fresh air. Also electricity is not cheap in Australia. You towels washed up beautifully. 👍
So peaceful, soothing and inspiring video. I'm just at the start of a minimalist journey with my family but every step counts ...Best regards from Czech Republic. Kate.
OmG I put all my laundry together, run the dryer for a few minutes and then dig through and pull out what needs to be air dried. Your way makes so much more sense.
I changed from liquid to powder this last year as the power comes in a cardboard box instead of plastic While I find that I get some light power marks on some dark clothes occasionally I am feeling better about less plastic bottles. We have a company here in New Zealand now that makes genuine non petrochemical sugar based " plastic" containered products that they are now asking to be returned ned for recycling ♻ a genuine attempt at closed cycle production
Hi Jacqueline, I’m a New Zealander living in Australia. I’m really interested in the product you are talking about if you could please reply. We can probably buy it here. I buy powder detergent at the moment, in cardboard, from Aldi. Not sure how sustainable it is though. Thank you.
So love your minimalist style, aesthetic and perfectionist tendencies. I, too remove labels, decanting if possible. I enjoy doing laundry, a type of zen for the rhythm of my home. I also do the fluff in the dryer, and then hang the clothes on hangers or drying bars. I have an extending drying rack that compresses when not in use in my little laundry closet on the main floor of our home. With the door shut, people would think it is just a linen closet, but is quite a lovely laundry room. There is something so satisfying about beginning the week renewed and everything clean, nicely folded and put away. It is a simple joy that brings so much gratitude and satisfaction, and emphasizes I have everything I need.
Lovely video always . I have always washed my cloths and Put things hangers. Makes putting things in my wardrobe away easier . Most of the time we can hang on the cloths line outside . I enjoy doing my washing makes the house smell nice xxx have a lovely day
Always so calming and inspiring to watch your videos. I’m happy to learn about the guppy mesh bag and am definitely getting one now. I learn so much from you. We also use white in towels, napkins and bedding because I find it easier to clean and like the crisp freshness. It took a few grey mishaps to learn that the dryer balls were discoloring everything so now i only use them with colors.
What kind of dryer balls do you use? What caused them to do that? I have both the white wool ones and the plastic blue spiked ones, I haven't noticed any issues but want to avoid it.
I also use 60 degrees for towels and linen. But I do have coloured towels in the family. I also use 60degrees for my work scrubs as I’m a nurse and iron those for extra bacteria control. Regular darks I use 40 degree wash. Living in Australia we tend to hang our washing outside on a clothes line.
I agree with Angela below, there isn't another person in the world that I would watch do laundry, but Benita makes it look exciting. I'm off to buy some white cotton towels!!!!
I use white linen and towels too. I find it much easier to keep them looking good for many years and it makes me feel like I am in a hotel 😄. I am really enjoying your channel! 🤍
Washing the laundry (with e.g. cotton bed linnens or towels that can handle it) now and then on boiling program (90-95 deg. C) helps keep the machine clean and bacteria free, as well as the fabric. :)
OMG how did you know my goal today was to create a routine for my laundry room (Which is also my closet) I was do discouraged about it and now I am excited to do it. Thank you! 🙏
To be honest I wear pretty much the same aside from switching to leggings and long sweaters at home. I very rarely have the need to dress up. Hardly ever.
If you haven’t tried sunlight to remove stains yet, I recommend it (especially during the summer when there is a lot of strong sunlight during the day). I had no idea how effective it was until I left a stained sweater out on my drying rack near a window in my apartment for a few days because I was waiting to buy a stain remover on my next shopping trip, and when I finally got the stain remover, I couldn’t even find the stain, because the sun had completely removed it. I wasn’t even sure a that the stain remover would work and I had thought I would have to get rid of the sweater. It was a red wine stain on a yellow knitted sweater, that hadn’t come out in my regular wash, and the stain was very large and noticeable. My guess is it got about 10 hours of direct sunlight and another 20 of indirect. The stain literally just vanished. My mother always hated all these domestic activities, so never really learned herself how to do laundry properly, so I’ve had to learn all these things my own through research and trial and error. This sunlight stain removing phenomenon is still kind of amazing to me.
Your videos are so calming! I loved this one and was looking to purchase new towels in black friday sales- will bite the bullet and go for white (maybe!). I was scared of white but gosh its so classy and fresh looking. Kiss from Lo(ckeddown)don, UK
If you have iron in your water whites are not a favorite article to own. Even with a water softener and iron filter I have rust and whites that turn yellow.
I have decluttered and donated so much since discovering your channel. I used to routinely declutter, but this latest round of removal has been quite impressive! And, like you, I find l have little interest in selling anything. I just want it gone, though I have given away quite a bit of it on my neighborhood Facebook page. Thank you for your videos! I'm still not convinced I can handle white, since I've ruined everything white, but I might try again some day. :)
Know your Mother is proud of you, kind of you to help her with her washing machine. Am going to switch from fabric softener to vinegar , thank you for that hint. Always enjoy your videos.
Following you from Canada, il really appreciate your calming videos. And thanks to you for letting us know about Organic basics from which I ordered beautiful t shirts !
The clothes that come out of the washing machine should be treated individually (all should be shaken), before going inside the dryer. The same when they come out of the dryer and before are folded.
Your laundry hampers are so nice. I am currently turning my bedroom into a tiny studio because my housemates are driving me bonkers. I am looking for similar things. I will have to keep searching. I love a wicker or rattan hamper. the noise they make opening and closing is nice and they tend to smell wonderful Edit: actually you're right about the water temp from a chemistry perspective. Heat allows the fabrics to loosen up and relax the fibers which in turn loosens the hold on crud so when it gets spun or agitated it comes off more easily. I use some powders and things on mine. My whites almost never get dingy and bleach is not needed.
I also love wicker and if I was buying a new set I’d go for that! Have had these for a decade now though and they are the perfects size for that spot, being no narrow. And thanks for confirming the heat!👍🏻
For those of you still wondering how she keeps her whites white without bleach. Cleanliness of laundry depends largely on water quality. Alot of places have hard water. Hard water builds up on fabrics and makes them look dingy. The softer the water the cleaner your clothes. and home will be. You can invest in a home water softener to get rid of the problem.
It's 3:30am here I'm hanging the last washing load & your new video comes up, haha! I run my machine after 10/11pm/midnight for cost reasons, kids in bed & I sleep late. I hang everything, inside & out. But the harsh sun here & birds galore, I have to hang majority inside.
Benita, have you ever tried 100% linen bath towels? A Reddit author explained why her family switched to linen and will never switch back to cotton terry. She said in addition to the progressive comfort of linen over time, their linen towels take up so much less space during laundering. And, she made (cut and hemmed) the towels herself using linen yardage bought online. I've been thinking about making the switch to linen, too.
Nice video, really love Neutral detergent, started using the colour liquid a few years ago, and it washes really well without any nasty perfumes (I hate chemical laundry smells) They stopped selling it in the UK. We have non bio (no Enzymes) for sensitive skin But it doesn’t wash out stains or smells like body odour which you need enzymes to break them down.
Should look into true earth laundry detergent im obsessed with it verses liquid. Its sustainable within its packaging, no water added to the detergent as its concentrate strips thats biodegradable and package is compostable.
Hi Benita, thank you for another great video. I love doing laundry, and although I don't mind ironing, I find steaming my clothes to be much more satisfying! :)
Here in the USA we have a brand called The Laundress and I love their shampoo for Whites plus their other fabric specific liquid soaps....it is enzymatic I believe...it works brilliantly and can often whiten old yellowing Tshirts etc. Love the video and Organic Basics...such a great brand...Big Hugs
Benita is the only person to have ever convinced me that something related to laundry is something to get excited about.
Angela Olaguera Totally agree with you! 😊
😂
Haha, I’m converting you!
You should see how excited Clean My Space gets about laundry. It's very cute
ihihihih
You could make a video on 'watching paint dry' and it would be mesmerizing Benita!
Hahaha, I’ll add that to my list 😂
Yes!
It's the superb photography, editing and production. 😘
Haha also - true! 😅
I actually love doing laundry. There's something so satisfying about have freshly laundered clothes folded neatly. (I also dislike ironing). Thanks for posting this video.
I agree! I also don’t mind laundry!
I find it quite therapeutic 😂
Lol guys weird I hate laundry unless already folded and put away
This is me! I know I should do less laundry, but I hate letting it build up.
I love your videos, style and natural way of life. I've learned so much from you. I am impressed by your conscience with only doing ads with companies that you believe in and that have integrity. You are a class act and I have much respect for you! xx p.s. you introduced me to Organic Basics and I love the brand

Work of laundry art.

Beautiful apartment you have and I love the white and grey linens you have I will like to be a minimalist at home so restful.
Your life looks so perfect with zero mess, amazing
I’ve got rid of anything that needs ironing. I love natural fabrics & most are fine if you hang them to dry.
Such a nuisance bring the ironing board out, isn’t it!
I have doing laundry most of my life and you taught me some great ideas -- thank you! I used to get colorful towels, too, and now I just have white. Easier to keep looking clean and to sanitize.
Aren’t they just!
So calming and mesmerising. And it’s laundry!
I sold my dryer years ago as I wasn't using it. I prefer to dry my clothes outside in the sunshine and fresh air. Also electricity is not cheap in Australia. You towels washed up beautifully. 👍
I used to line dry too in the first house I lived in but with seasonal allergy I stopped due to all the pollen I brought inside.
So peaceful, soothing and inspiring video.

I followed your method and WOW did our whites turn out white! To quote my fave blogger, "Lalalove it!"
I'd love a patio like yours to hang everything outside 🌞
I’m close to the street and buses so I prefer to dry inside but I air things out outside all the time!
Benita Thank you! You very nice motivator and my muse😊
Aww, you’re so sweet!
One more great video, thank you! I watch them over and over again. You give me inspiration each time!

I have wooden hangers in my closet so I don’t use those for drying but I can see that you system would work really well!
Hej Benita! Under my point if view, sleep with clean & fresh bedding is one of the best pleasures in life 🥰... Thank you for your videos!
Thank you so much for watching them!
I totally agree. I always say that if I strike it rich, I want freshly laundered bedding every night.😉😁 But for now I will settle for once a week 😉
I agree 😊!!
That video just guilted me into doing my ironing tomorrow. 😁
Uhoh, I’m so sorry 🤣
If hang clothes out of the dryer shouldn't wrinkle your clothes.
🤣🤣🤣
Hi Benita not sure why it's so fascinating watching someone do their laundry but it is. Always enjoy your videos
Haha, I also watch laundry and cleaning on CZcams as entertainment 😂
White sheets, white towels, white shirt, white rug, white bathroom, and of course a black cat. :)
Yes, and a tortie too!
Always so calming and inspiring to watch your videos. I’m happy to learn about the guppy mesh bag and am definitely getting one now. I learn so much from you.

I never knew about using vinegar, thx 😁
Happy to share this trick!
Your bathroom is great. Especially your shower. Everything is so beautiful and at the same time very practical and well thought out.
Switching out the tub for the shower wall was the best decision ever!
Your accent is so peaceful 😍 I love Scandinavian accents (and almost every other!)
I agree with Angela below, there isn't another person in the world that I would watch do laundry, but Benita makes it look exciting. I'm off to buy some white cotton towels!!!!

The clothes that come out of the washing machine should be treated individually (all should be shaken), before going inside the dryer. The same when they come out of the dryer and before are folded.
Your laundry hampers are so nice. I am currently turning my bedroom into a tiny studio because my housemates are driving me bonkers. I am looking for similar things. I will have to keep searching. I love a wicker or rattan hamper. the noise they make opening and closing is nice and they tend to smell wonderful
Edit: actually you're right about the water temp from a chemistry perspective. Heat allows the fabrics to loosen up and relax the fibers which in turn loosens the hold on crud so when it gets spun or agitated it comes off more easily. I use some powders and things on mine. My whites almost never get dingy and bleach is not needed.
I also love wicker and if I was buying a new set I’d go for that! Have had these for a decade now though and they are the perfects size for that spot, being no narrow.

Have you tried drying your laundry on your patio? What do you do to avoid too much humidity/mould indoors after washing?
I have traffic outside so I avoid wet clothes out there. Inside there’s under floor heating and a fan.
Hi Benita, thank you for another great video!! like the idea of the 3 minute wrinkle-free cycle, that's very useful.
SO useful, no major creases and way less ironing!

And, she made (cut and hemmed) the towels herself using linen yardage bought online. I've been thinking about making the switch to linen, too.
I haven’t!
Thank you so much for the great video! and for the 3 minute wrinkle free cycle I never knew
That setting is the best if you have it on your dryer!
Thank you 👍
Thank you Benita for the video, I have about the same routine with laundry that you have and it works out great.
It’s system that works well😊
Nice video, really love Neutral detergent, started using the colour liquid a few years ago, and it washes really well without any nasty perfumes (I hate chemical laundry smells) They stopped selling it in the UK. We have non bio (no Enzymes) for sensitive skin But it doesn’t wash out stains or smells like body odour which you need enzymes to break them down.
Should look into true earth laundry detergent im obsessed with it verses liquid. Its sustainable within its packaging, no water added to the detergent as its concentrate strips thats biodegradable and package is compostable.
They actually got in touch a while ago so I’ll look into them!
lately i've been seeing ads for organic laundry pods called Dropps. i'm going to look into it. no bottles to dispose of would be nice.
*You always give me ideas for my Minimalist home so thank you 🤗*
Thank you so much for watching my videos!
Your videos are amazing I Ilove watching them.
Sooo soothing 🧺
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi Benita, thank you for another great video. I love doing laundry, and although I don't mind ironing, I find steaming my clothes to be much more satisfying! :)
I was recently gifted a steamer and LOVE it!
Thanks Benita! Like always inspiring us! ❤️
I’m so happy you enjoy my videos!
Excellent video and commentary.
Happy you enjoyed it!
Here in the USA we have a brand called The Laundress and I love their shampoo for Whites plus their other fabric specific liquid soaps....it is enzymatic I believe...it works brilliantly and can often whiten old yellowing Tshirts etc. Love the video and Organic Basics...such a great brand...Big Hugs
I’ve heard of the Laundress! Sounds like they have great products!
I love The Laundress products. My daughter gave me several items last year for
Christmas and I’m hooked.
I need to buy dryer balls! Your blouse looks great. 👍
Yes, try them! They make the laundry dry faster too! And the shirt feels amazing on!
I think I need to get the long shirt! I hope it’s soft.
Hey....I was so happy to see you....love your videos....sending you lots of love ...xx from Canada.
Thank you so much for watching!
