Washing Clothes/Laundry
Permalink Closed


How many times a WEEK do you wash clothes? I swear, it's seven days in a week, and I feel like I'm washing at least 4 out of those 7, no thanks to Joe's changing clothes at LEAST 4x's a day, esp. when he's working in the garage.

I am completely awful and I think this might mean I have too many clothes, underwear, bras, etc., but I wash clothes rarely.  Usually once a month (longer most times- like every 6 weeks for so).  I hate doing laundry!!

Hubby and I do laundry about 2x/week.  We need to do it more, though.  We can go weeks without washing clothes, but then when it comes time to do laundry, we literally lose a Saturday because we're washing clothes all day.  We're trying to throw in a load every other day or so, just to keep it manageable.  The mind is willing but the body is lazy, I guess.

Probably about once every 6 weeks. I'm awful. I have soooo much underwear specifically for this purpose and I never wear socks because I pretty much only wear Uggs or sandals.

I do 2 or 3 loads a week - FH is AWFUL and will also change clothes 3x a day!  I don't understand how it's possible, considering he wears scrubs to work, that he manages to dirty 2 changes of regular clothes along with the scrubs everyday !

my husband goes through clothes like nothing. i joke that he throws them "in the trash" (meaning laundry) after wearing something for a minute.

ideally, i should do laundry 2-3x per week, but it's more like once a week. sometimes i will go a few weeks and then all of the sudden i have like seven loads. insanity.

Just my stuff, once or twice a week.  I like to wear my favorite stuff frequently.  I wear my pajamas two times before washing them, same goes to sweaters and jeans.  It helps save water/electricity and the chore of washing.

Once a week. I actually almost like doing laundry now that we have access to a nice, tidy laundry room in the basement of our building. They have about twenty washers and dryers there!

I do about one per week, but DH does more. maybe like 3 loads? it's insane. we do our own laundry though... I don't trust him not to shrink mine and his take up too much space and are too heavy in the washer anyway.

I have tons of socks/underwear, so I could go without doing laundry for a month or so, but my bf does all of the laundry so I never worry about it! He does laundry about twice a week.

I do soooo much laundry.  With 2 children, my husband and myself, there's always something to wash.  I tend to let it pile up and do it 3/4 times a week.

We do it every two weeks. If we owned a washer/dryer we would do it more often. (I really despise laundromats)

we do about three loads a week.  usually two loads on saturday (dark and white) and i'll do one another day of the week (usually dark).  it's the one chore that my bf will actually do, and i hate doing.  the good thing is that i don't fold ANY of my clothes (my least favorite thing), so i will just hang from the drycleaners, or throw into my hamper (it's where i keep my CLEAN work out clothes).  so it's pretty easy to put my clothes away.   


also, a lot of times i'll take out whites from the dryer, so i can throw in the darks, and then put the whites back in the dryer, just so that i don't have to fold towels or my bfs stuff.  a lot of times i'll take my stuff directly from the dryer and put it on, and leave the rest of the stuff in there... i hate putting it away!!!

I do maybe 1 load per week.  I hate washing my clothes tho because I hate the way washing wears clothes out and effects the colors.  Other than socks, underwear, and gym clothes, I wear thing many, many times before I wash them.

I do laundry usually once a week or I let it go just slightly longer.  I usually do whites, darks, and mediums.  Hubby does his own laundry, so I don't have to worry about that.

Once a week normally - light and dark colored clothes, so two loads. Sometimes about every ten days, if we're gone on vacation or just busy.

Sheets / towels are usually every other week. And whites, because it takes so long for us to have a full load, are usually once a month.

I LOVE doing laundry - it's my favorite chore (okay, it's my least detested chore *s*). I like the idea of all my clothes clean, and in the closet, ready for me to wear them. I know, I'm weird.
