    Question How many times a week do you do laundry?

    I have a small family so I only do laundry on Monday's. I am just wondering how many times a week you all do laundry.

    It is just my husband & I but I seem to do laundry atleast every
    other day or so. I wash our "nice clothes" (work clothing) every
    other day & towels, t-shirts on that day too but sometimes, towels etc get washed daily depending on how many I have.

    We use our bath towels for a couple of baths before washing
    but the dish towels, cleaning towels, socks, undies seem to pile
    up.

    It depends on how much time our grandaughters spend here, during the week. This summer they were here almost every day. Boy! Did I have wash! When it is just DH and I, we can wash two times a week and pretty much keep up.

    When the 3 dk's were at home I did 3 loads everyday. Now that it's just dh and I, only 1 or *maybe* 2 times per week if we've really been on the go....! I love that part of the empty nest!

    I do a load almost daily or a day with two loads. Seems I am always doing laundry, but I have been doing well about staying on top of it lately.

    *going to toss a load in now actually* LOL

    Usually once a week; three loads, but sometimes it's twice a week especially if I have more than the usual three loads which is when I wash all the bedspreads, blankets, etc. I usually get it all done in one day unless it starts raining or we have to go somewhere. Oh, and there are three of us, dh, me and dd.

    I'd have to say 2 times. Because I start it one day and get sidetracked and forget about and have to finish it another day.

    I try to wash one load of laundry per day when it is nice out. If it is raining, I may skip a day and wash 2/3 when it is nice enough to hang the laundry out again. We have a well and septic, and my husband says it is not good to wash too many loads in one day.

    Since my washer broke I got every other week to a friends house & do my laundry there. Since it is only me & my daughter for the next few weeks I don't have all that much but I can't wait to move & have my own washer & dryer again.

    I do at least a load every day of year.
