sheets every week

towels lately every use, because the towel rods were down for the everlasting bathroom reno, but now they are up and I'm hoping every second or third use (dry in between, no sharing)

Handtowels, once or twice a day I change them. Definitely once though. Ditto tea towels in the kitchen, and dishcloths.

jeans, 2 days of wear, and they hit the wash.

Pajamas, hmmmmm well I don't bother with night clothes,

but the kids did, and every other day or so for them.

Sheets~weekly
Pj's~4 days or so
Towels~Bath towels weekly, hand towels every other day or so
Jeans~when they need it. I can sometimes wear mine 4 times or so before they need it. Dh gets about the same for his unless he's working in the dirt. Then it's daily.

Sheets -- once a week

Jeans --- I confess to washing after one wearing, DH and I wear them to work. The kids get theirs too nasty to wear more than one day. In college I wore them a couple of days before they were washed.

Towels -- 3 - 4 days for DH and myself. I have a running battle with my kids to hang up their towels when they are done and not dump them on the floor after which of course they have to be washed. Maybe I should just make them use the towel they've dumped on the floor?

PJs -- after one wearing in the summer; maybe after two or three wearing in the winter.

Sheets I try to do them once a week

Jeans after 2-3 wearings since I am in work clothes all day during the week, the jeans don't get worn that much

PJ's, since I am clean when I wear them I usually wash them after about 4 day's to a week since I don't think sleeping in them gets them dirty

Towels use them 2-3 times before washing and then I wait until I have enough for a whole load of towels before I wash them.

**many houseapes** · 11-18-2005, 11:06 PM

sheets/blankets......every 2 weeks( me & dh & older kids), for the younger kids.....more often than 2 weeks.
everything else.....at least every other day

**Katybird** · 11-19-2005, 10:42 AM

sheets~once a week Sundays or Mondays depending on my work schedule

jeans~after every wearing

pajamas~

don't wear them

shower/bath towels~everyday (there are just 2 of us in the household so it really doesn't add up to that much extra laundry here) I love fresh towels.
