Today is National Laundry Day, a time to recognize the importance of cleaning and maintaining clean clothing. Most people can agree that doing laundry can be tedious, from lost socks, to stains not coming out, and bed sheets wadding up in wet knots. Cyndi Bray, a native Detroiter, has come up with a solution to these laundry issues, and her invention Wad-Free even landed her a deal on “Shark Tank”.
She appeared via zoom on “Live in the D,” Monday, to discuss some laundry hacks. “I think we’re all familiar with what I call the sheet burrito wad, where one sheet will wrap itself around everything else, and nothing inside dries,” Bray said. She said her invention, which consists of plastic clamps, solves this issue. She also gave the following tips on how to do laundry more efficiently.
- Wash in Cold Water (This helps with stain removal)
- Dry on Low Heat (This requires a couple of cycles, but uses less energy)
