    The compassion in this video made it feel like such a safe space. I’ve done laundry for forever, but there’s tons in life I wish was explained to me for the first time so kindly, these things can seem so overwhelming before you get the hang of it!

  • @starlightsleep

    Please continue making videos explaining basic adult "common knowledge" functions explained so kindly like this with shopping tours and explanations of what each of products are!! These videos could be so helpful to people on the Autism spectrum who commonly struggle with these kinds of care activities! Other ideas could be doing dishes, or simply just making a purchase at a store using different payment, or how to prepare for a job interview. This video was great, so patient and detailed.
    Side note - I laughed so hard at the part you said we'll be doing laundry until we die. It was so real.

  • @em-moonlightbreeze
    @em-moonlightbreeze ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Seconding what another commenter said, videos like this are so incredibly helpful for autistic people like myself! We often struggle with these basic everyday tasks and a patient, extremely detailed overview like this is significantly helpful for us. Thank you for making this

    This is super educational and relaxing at the same time. I actually enjoy doing laundry but I’ve made some horrible mistakes in the past 🙈 (red shirt turned everything pink😅)
    But now I have a college kid and a high schooler who are learning all of this. You would be surprised how many kids in my daughters dorm had no idea how to wash their clothes. This would be so helpful for them❤

    Videos like this are so healing for my inner child. i’m 27 and I’ve had to figure out and learn everything myself without any guidance, I would’ve loved to experience a motherly warm presence like this growing up teaching me these things with gentleness and compassion. i love your channel🩷

    I never thought I needed this video from you specifically. I'm graduating in 2024 and scared about having to learn all these things I was never taught before I head out into the real world. this was the best advice I could ever hear. I'm taking notes as I watch this as well, but this is such a help. Ive been watching your channel for years and barely comment, but I needed to let you know just how much you've helped with not only my sleep and relaxation, but now my future. Youre an angel for this video, thank you 🤍

    You're such a love. I love listening to you. Im so glad we have washers and dryers. When i was very young my mom had one of those ringer washers. She always told me to not touch it for fear my arms would get stuck in the ringer like my cousin, 😮. Then she got a regular washer when she had my brother. Progress! I do my laundry like you! We have the same laundry style!!! 😅😅😅

  • @makenziejones1239

    Question. I love to thrift and I know you do, too! Do you do any specific laundry techniques for sanitizing thrifted clothes? Have you ever had an issue with bugs? Just wanting to be safe and figured Mama Mary would have the answers as usual. ❤😊

    I love this! I would like if this was a series, how to clean different rooms in your house, the basics of cookings. My mom didn’t teach me how to do a lot of these things so I learn from TH-cam!

    • @SouthernASMRSounds
      @SouthernASMRSounds  ปีที่แล้ว +27

      I try to keep that in mind with my cooking videos. Typically, I pick basic/simple recipes that anyone can make, with the hopes that it will encourage people to try cooking and baking. :)

    • @szqsk8
      @szqsk8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m 65 years old, and have been doing laundry for 40 years. It surprises me how many people I know were never taught anything about things like this. My mom had me doing laundry when I was in grade school (along with cooking and ironing). All three of us girls had to learn that stuff. For some reason my brother got a free pass. The place I’m renting now has a high efficiency washer and I detest it because they are just too high maintenance for me. I miss my old Sears top loader washer.

  • @leeistired_

    Thank you for this knowledge Mary! I have an ADHD laundry tip to share, especially if you struggle with the putting away stage! I used to dread laundry so much but this made laundry a completely neutral task for me.
    I sort my clothes by type before I do laundry like tops, bottoms, and then everything else. I set up three baskets so i’ll usually sort when i put my clothes into the hamper to minimize this task on a day i’m doing laundry. When it comes time to put away the laundry, everything in the load is already sorted (and makes socks much easier when a load is mostly socks, underwear, and towels). I also find this helps with staggering laundry and not needing to do more than one load in a day because you’ll wash your pants load when you’re running low on pants and won’t need to do a couple of loads of laundry because you’re low on just underwear. Hope this helps some fellow ADHDers, or others who dread laundry day!!
    I’d also like to add that if you don’t air dry at least some of your clothes, you should. Aside from taking care of the garment, you have a good excuse to forget about your laundry for a bit and take your time slowly putting things away as they dry😂

    • @BuriedTeeth
      @BuriedTeeth ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh, interesting tip! I have POTS and putting away laundry is an extremely exhausting task 😓 this sounds like it'd help... But yes, taking clothes out of wash to air dry also helps the rest of the load dry faster in the dryer. So while air dry might seem like a cumbersome, unnecessary thing, it can actually be more efficient!

    • @jasmint3207
      @jasmint3207 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sounds good, maybe I'll try sorting them like that :)

    • @jasmint3207
      @jasmint3207 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dryers also use a lot of energy, so you can save money and ressources by air drying. I air dry everything (unless it's too humid., that can cause mold)

  • @megreads824
    @megreads824 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mary, I will be 40 years old next month and I never knew there was a vacuum attachment you could buy to clean out your lint trap! I clean mine manually before and after each load, but I’ve always been frustrated by the lint that gets stuck at the bottom of the trap and paranoid that my dryer would catch on fire. I hopped right onto Amazon and ordered one. Thank you!!!!

  • @ruthstephens2855

    Sat down in my recliner with my dog Dottie to watch this and in no time 😴😴😴😴😴 woke up an hour later to my phone alarm reminding me to give Dottie her Prednisone. Great video. Very relaxing. Love you Mary. I've been watching your videos for many years. You're my favorite ASMR artist ❤

    I use the dryer balls to start doll heads. Wrap in wool or batting so they’re softer. More sturdy than just stuffing a head.

    I love the “laundry style” phrase. It’s so accurate!! My whole family thinks we’re super crunchy because we use Free & Clear detergents. I just have horrendous eczema, but now that I’ve gotten so accustomed to the scentless detergents, I can’t stand the smell of fabric softeners and heavy fragrances. I swear I can also smell when people need to clean their washer due to overuse of softeners.

    • @snowgrrrrrl8650
      @snowgrrrrrl8650 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is such a perfect video for you to do! You know the channel that is something about stuff you call your dad about? And the guy does stuff that dads help with. You’d be great for the mom version. My mom died when I was a teenager but she was never a great cook to begin with. You’ve taught me quite a bit about cooking. But also opened my eyes to tomato sandwiches and they.are.heaven.

    My son was a boy scout. At the age of 13 he went to the National Jamboree for 2 weeks. Knowing he would need to do laundry without a machine I taught him how to handwash and sent him off with a bar of Fellsnaptha. His troop made a washing machine with a bucket and a plunger and took turns using it. Not my son, he got his own bucket and hand washed everything. "Mom, I was done way before everyone else and I was cleaner". He did a great job. This was a great video. I enjoy doing laundry and consider myself good at it and I learned some new tips!

  • @dream-landing
    @dream-landing ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Okay but why am I secretly excited to learn potential tips about doing the laundry even though I’ve been doing it since I was a kid 😂 Also, I would love another librarian video, but more focused on welcoming us to the community and showing us all the different services the library offers? Also you’ve done so many library videos so maybe you’ve already done this and I forgot/missed it, but you just have such a welcoming energy and I think it would be a great vid ❤

    I thought this was going to be one of those videos where you explain to the aliens what things are like the spoons

    Oh my gosh, I remember when I moved out for the first time and just standing in the laundry aisle looking like a deer in headlights! 😂

    Well done Mary! Learned a lot and have on my list a lint lizard. So I totally know you were joking about “don’t dry your cat” but whoopsies I accidentally did that to my Siamese twenty years ago. We lived in Ohio and she loved warm places. While I was getting clothes out to hang she jumped in. I had no idea and closed the lid and turned it back on. I walked out and her a clunk clunk noise. My mom asked if I was drying shoes and I said no. She ran to the dryer, opened the door and out jumped the cat. Didn’t stop her from getting back in though 🤷‍♀️

    I had no idea that fabric softener messes with moisture wicking fabric!!!

    one thing i see people do all the time is overfilling the washing machine. leaving enough room for the clothes to properly rinse is really important. another thing of note: fabric softener damages clothing. not saying anyone shouldn't use it if they like it, just be aware that you're going to notice your clothes degenerating faster. or, i guess if you've always been using it, there won't be a difference for you, but i realized after i stopped using it and stopped using too much detergent, my clothes started lasting a LOT longer. on the note of detergent, i've learned from professionals that you shouldn't be using more than 2 tablespoons for even the largest load you can fit in your machine. that was the game changer for me. i know it seems like more soap = more clean, but that's not technically how it works on a chemical level. hope that helps someone! :)

    To avoid color running add half a cup of table salt to the water

    Love the point that everyone does it differently!!! I make my own detergent due to my allergies and trying to cut back on “bad” ingredients! Another great video Mary!

      that's really interesting, how do you make your detergent? does it clean as good as commercial ones with harsher chemicals?

      ⁠@@silverrraven5349I use Castile soap as the base, there are tons of recipes online (some are slightly different than others) and I use borax to brighten whites or for extra dirty clothes! For my family (including my messy toddlers) it works perfectly!
