The Truth About Discovery Plus' New Show The Laundry Guy

There's no doubt Richardson loves his job, and sees it as a lifelong vocation. As he told Media Village, "It is incredibly rewarding ... it gets me choked up because it reminds me of my granny and my mother and even my dad," explaining that being a laundry expert is "like being a florist, times ten. I don't think it gets any better than that. I get to use this gift, this knowledge of textiles, and laundry." On the show, Richardson can be found restoring a soot-stained wedding gown that survived a horrific fire, or a Snoopy stuffed animal that gave someone comfort when emigrating — and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Bringing Southern charm and a love of storytelling, Richardson is a fun, charismatic, warm show runner, helping all the featured clients on "The Laundry Guy" restore treasured possessions. Richardson told HGTV, "Laundry is a kind of love language. It's a privilege that I get to wash these things for my clients," which only furthers the host's emotional perspective of laundry.
