It seems like I am always washing clothes. I do laundry everyday and average probably 3 loads a day. Thats a lot of laundry!

How often do you do laundry?

I do laundry once a week for 2 people. I have 3 or 4 sometimes 5 loads though.

I used to do all the laundry on Monday but with four of us, it takes too long. Now I try to do a load every other day. I always wash sheets on Sunday.

We wash on the weekend. Actually, we try to do it all on Saturday if I get up early enough. ;) There's about 4-6 loads for the 3 of us.

It really depends on my day ... If I want to keep caught up, I do 2 maybe 3 a day. If I have a ;azy day and skip a day or 2 I can have 7 or 8 loads pile up on me.. its unbelieveable!

I have recently started making the girls put their own laundry away so that my 7 y/o can see how many clothes she goes through. There are times I wash stuff that I know hasn't been worn. Someone will try something on, change and rather than putting the shirt that was worn only for 30 seconds back on a hanger, it gets tossed in the floor... then in the laundry.

Once a week - usually two loads, unless I am doing throw rugs, etc.

Twice a week for the two of us. I do bedding and towels on Saterday and clothes on Sunday.

If I had a washer/dryer I would probably do it all on Sunday, but it's to much for one trip to the laundry room and we're not supposed to use all 4 washers/dryers at the same time anyway. Need to leave at least one for somebody else.

I do mine on the weekends as well. It takes me all day. I am just to tired during the week to attempt to do it at night. I am literally sick of doing dishes though.

I started doing that too. The real kicker was when I found some clothes in the hamper that were STILL on the hangers!! :rolleyes:

With 7 of us there is never a time when I can say that I don't have any laundry to do.

2 loads of clothes for 3, two adults and one child, and one load for the towels and sheets a week. it takes about 3 mins to load and unload and 10 mins to sort, hang and put away. it's pretty simple. of course when i worked in a retirement community it was my job at night to wash and fold 15 loads of table clothes and napkins and about 5 or more loads of resident laundry per night. i really got a system down.

This goes on at my house alot with my 10 year old SON! I am always telling him he changes clothes more than a teenage girl! He will do the samething, try it on and if it is not what he wants , on the floor or balled up in the closet is where it goes. I have been loading the washer to find clothes that were still folded put in with the clothes to be washed! So I wash clothes daily! Not to mention the almost 3 year old and the DH who is a plumber who comes home muddy all the time from digging in the dirt! :eek:

My special daughter does about 3 loads a day for the 4 of them and then takes weekends off. Just for me I only have about 1 load a week. She has a giant washing machine, biggest I've ever seen. :) :)
