Deep dives

The Concept of Laundry Zero

The term 'laundry zero' captures the elusive state where all laundry is done and put away, similar to the idea of ‘inbox zero’. The hosts discuss the practicalities of achieving this state, noting that for many, the definition includes the act of putting everything away rather than just completing the wash. They humorously express how laundry often escalates quickly, making it seem impossible to ever reach this ideal state. Ultimately, they resonate with the audience by acknowledging the ongoing cycle of dirty laundry, especially after having children.
