How often do you do laundry

**homesteadmamma** · 01-19-2009, 09:57 PM

It seems like I'm doing laundry everyday. I don't have a dryer and now that I can't dry the clothes outside, it's a never ending job.

How often do you do it?

I do laundry about three times a week and it's never ending and never fully done. It drives me insane.

I use to do a load or two every couple of days, but just recently switched to doing it once a week. It seems to not seem as never ending that way.

Every single day and several times a day. Without fail.

Up until last week, I had no dryer either so I know how that is. But I could still get up to 4 loads done per day if needed.

We do laundry once a week on Sundays. We do 4 loads each week: my clothes, his clothes, jeans/slacks, towels/whites. Sometimes we have a little more, sometimes a little less. If need be, we will do a load during the week, but I think we may have done that once in the past year.

I do one load per day on a rotating schedule... my clothes, kids clothes, dh's clothes, towels, bed linens, dh's clothes (he only has a few work clothes so I do them twice a week), then Sunday's we're generally too busy. Its never completely done but the schedule ensures everything gets done once a week and I don't have to stress about it.

about a load a day, on average....somedays none at all, somedays, like today, I did 4 loads

I have 2 drying racks and do 2 loads a day. I don't line dry everything, but alot of stuff is line dried. I don't have room to hand sheets and dh's work clothes do better if they are dried a little. My dryer has several selections for tempurature and I do know that it has reduced my gas bill to dry according to size and fabric.

At least every other day. I usually do 2 or 3 loads on those days, sometimes more.

Every Wednesday. Except I did it all today since I was off and dh had to work, and the weather was just beautiful. It must have been 70 degrees so I hung it all outside.

On average, at least a couple of loads a day. All of the loads are either large or super sized loads. By the time we each change clothes 3 to 4 times a day(from Pj's to work/school clothes to work out clothes and on Wednesday into church clothes after the gym), shower(we wash the towels after each use) and do linens(sheets and blankets at least once a week) - we generate a lot of laundry on a daily basis. We use the dryer for 99.9% of the laundry.

There are only two of us here. We do one or two loads a week depending on if we are washing towel and bedding or not.

I don't really have a schedule. I just do it, when ever there is laundry to do. Doing laundry is not my problem....it is the ironing. lol

**Palooka** · 01-20-2009, 01:30 AM

About one load every other day.

**joyofsix** · 01-20-2009, 07:51 AM

Every stinking day. Nine people, one in cloth diapers make alot of laundry. I have the kids rewear play clothes for 2 or 3 days and wear school jeans twice and dh and I do the same and there is still alot of laundry. ~sigh~ And I feel your pain about getting things dry. It takes jeans forever to dry on my rack.
