JENYNE: THE MARYLAND HOME AND GARDEN SHOW IS TAKING PLACE THIS WEEKEND AT THE MARYLAND STATE FAIRGROUNDS. FEATURING GARDEN DISPLAYS VENDORS AND DEMONSTRATIONS BY OUR GUEST THIS MORNING. PATRIC RICHARDSON ALSO KNOWNAS THE LAUNDRY GUY ON DISCOVERY PLUS. GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. JENYNE: HOW ARE YOU? >> I AM GREAT. JENYNE: I AM GREAT BECAUSE YOU ARE THE LAUNDRY GUY. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE. >> IF NOT, I MAKE IT UP. JENYNE: [LAUGHTER] WHAT TIPS DO YOU HAVE? >> I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO REMOVE A FEW STAINS. THIS IS KALE SMOOTHIE. THE TRICK TO THIS IS YOU JUST SPRINKLE A LITTLE BIT OF BAKING SODA ON IT. AND THEN YOU JUST SQUEEZE OF LEMON AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. SEE HOW IT FOAMS UP? WHEN THE FOAM IS GONE, THIS PAIN IS GONE. ISN’T THAT CRAZY? JENYNE: I NEVER THINK TO USE BAKING SODA. I ALWAYS THINK OF PEROXIDE. >> IT IS ALSO AN ACID, JUST A DIFFERENT ONE. THE GREAT THING ABOUT BAKING SODA IS IT WON’T BLEACH. PEROXIDE CAN BLEACH COLOR. JENYNE: AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR, ALWAYS AVAILABLE. >> IN A PINCH, YOU CAN USE VINEGAR. YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE SAME RESULT. THE TRICK IS THE BAKING SODA. THIS IS OLD BAY SEASONING. USUALLY THERE IS BUTTER WITH IT AND THAT IS ALWAYS THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT ACTUALLY THE OLD BAY THAT IS HARD TO GET OUT. JENYNE: THE BUTTER IS THE STAIN THAT REMAINS. >> THIS IS 50 VINEGAR, 50 WATER. YOU SEE IT IS ALREADY STARTING TO LIFT. THIS IS JUST A BAR OF LAUNDRY SOAP YOU GET AT THE GROCERY STORE. YOU GIVE IT A LITTLE SCRUB AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS IT IS GOING TO COME RIGHT OUT. WHAT IS FUN IS I ALWAYS PUT A TOWEL UNDER JENYNE: — JENYNE:AND IT TRANSFERS. >> IT WILL ABSORB THE VINEGAR AND WHATEVER SO IT IS WORKING FROM THE BOTTOM WHILE I WORK FROM THE TOP. I STILL WANTED TO GO FAST. ALSO FROM THE KITCHEN, YOU CAN REMOVE STATIC FROM ANYTHING. USE A BALL OF ALUMINUM FOIL. TAKE A PIECE OF ALUMINUM FOIL, A ONE-YARD PIECE AND YOU MAKE A BALL. THE TRICK IS, YOU RELATE FROM THE OUTSIDE TO THE MIDDLE AND YOU MAKE A BALL, TOSS IS IN THE DRYER. FOR THE NEXT 30 TO 60 TRIPS THROUGH THE DRYER, IT WILL REMOVE STATIC BETTER THAN ANYTHING YOU HAVE USED. JENYNE: I LOVE THAT YOU SHOW US YOU DON’T WANT TO BALL IT UP SO TIGHT. >> IT IS THE AIR POCKETS IN HERE THAT ABSORB THE STATIC. IT WILL FINALLY SHRINK AND END UP LIKE THE SIZE OF A WALNUT. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THERE WOULD IN RECYCLING AND MAKE YOURSELF A NEW ONE. JENYNE: YOU SAID 30 DAYS? >> 30 TO 60 TRIPS THROUGH THE DRYER. MY LAST TRICK WHICH IS REALLY FUNNY, THIS IS VODKA. VODKA WILL REMOVE ODOR FROM ANYTHING. YOU CAN SPRAY IT IN SNEAKERS. IF YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT AND YOU LEAVE AND YOU SMELL LIKE THE FOOD, IF THE DOG LAYS ON YOUR SOFA, YOU SPRAY IT WITH VODKA AND IT IS OVER. YOU DON’T HAVE TO PUT IT IN THE WASHER. JENYNE: DO NOT SPRAY IT AND DRIVE BECAUSE YOU MIGHT GET PULLED OVER. I TOLD YOU I WOULD THROW YOU A CURVEBALL QUESTION. PEOPLE SAY LESS IS MORE. I AM A MORE IS MORE KIND OF GIRL. WHEN IT COMES TO THE MINDED TOURNAMENT — TO THE LAUNDRY DETERGENT, I ADD A LITTLE MORE. >> ABOUT TWO TABLESPOONS THERE AND THERE IS A GOOD REASON FOR THIS. IT IS THE WATER THAT GETS YOUR CLOTHES CLEAN. THE DIRT GOES INTO THE DETERGENT AND GOES DOWN THE DRAIN. IF THERE IS TOO MUCH, YOUR WASHING MACHINE CANNOT RINSE IT ALL OUT AND IT SETTLES BACK IN YOUR CLOTHES. THAT IS HOW YOU END UP WITH CRUNCHY TOWELS. JENYNE: I HAVE BEEN MAKING MY CLOTHES DIRTIER THINKING THEY ARE GETTING CLEANER. THIS IS WHY YOU ARE THE BEST. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU WILL BE PUTTING ON DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE HOME AND GARDEN SHOW. TELL US WHAT TIME YOU WILL BE THERE AND WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU. >> I AM ON THE MAIN STAGE AT 12:00 AND 2:30 TODAY AND TOMORROW. UNFORTUNATELY I AM JUST HERE THIS WEEKEND. JENYNE: GET OVER TO THE HOME AND GARDEN SHOW. HE WILL BE THERE. THERE WILL BE HUNDRE
