When To Wash

From Thrift, 5:00 am today
A cheerful woman in a white T-shirt stands outside next to a clothesline, holding a large, dark blue towel with a detailed white floral pattern. Greenery and trees are in the background, creating a natural setting. In the lower left, a graphic of a potted plant growing from a stack of coins is displayed, along with the text 'WHEN TO WASH' in bold white letters and 'S3 EPISODE 3' in smaller white text on the right.
