Episode 39: Athleisure & The New Rules of Laundry
•
Ask a Clean Person: The Podcast is back! Jolie is joined by her newly minted co-host and partner-in-grime, Dave Lozo, as they catch up after a several-monthlong podcast hiatus and tackle the vexing subject of why workout gear comes out of the laundry still smelling like last week's spin class. From the dos and don'ts of laundering workout clothes, to the difference in how synthetic fabrics and natural fabrics like to be handled on wash day, to what to do when your favorite yoga pants get linty, Jolie and Dave explore the reasons that the popularity of athleisure has changed the way we think about our laundry.
