I do 2-5 loads of laundry a week depending on the week. I usually wash clothes for myself and husband and son 2 times a week. Then I usually do a load of sheets and a load blankets that we use to cover up with while watching tv on the couch! Everyother week along with the loads I just mentioned I also do a load of puppy laundry, blankets and towels (I breed shihtzus)..... I do have my own washer and dryer in my home..... I don't mind doing the laundry, I just don't like folding and putting it all away. I do feel good though when its all done!!! Shihtzumama [shihtzumama]
shihtzus are adorable, my friend bought a shihtzu puppy and it is soooo cute! I usually dont do blankets every week. folding it and putting it away is a chore. have a good night. [ladybug565]
There are only 3 of us in the house but the amount of laundry is about 2 loads of basket and is done once in two days. But this is all done by the machine so I'll just put the cloths in the machine while doing mylot. [zandi458]
yes, I am doing laundry now, the laundry room isnt far from my apartment. [ladybug565]
I just have me so I don't have much laundry. Sometimes I have extra to do when my grandson spends the night. I have a washer and dryer in the house. For a long time I didn't have a dryer, I hung clothes outside in the summer and inside in the winter [Polly1]
I dont blame him, it can be dangerous. I bet he is a little cuttie! My grandaughter just turned 3 yesterday. she lives 2 hours away. [ladybug565]
I do anywhere from 4 to 10 loads a week, depending on if blankets and towels have to be washed. I'm so worn out by the time I am done that I don't want to even think about doing anything else for the rest of the day. LOL [Katlady2]
yawnyes laundry will do that!! LOL!!! [ladybug565]
Hi Ladybug, there are only the 2 of us, my husband and I. We have a washing machine at home, and the washing is done averagely once a week. No dryer though, as our weather is usually hot enough to dry the clothes. [lazeebee]
hi lazeebee, I wish we were allowed to have our own washer and dryer here. it is verry cold here right now. have a good night. [ladybug565]
Oh my goodness, I wash clothes every day. I have a year old in the house and she is always spilling, dropping food, playing in food and the clothes always need washing right away. Sometimes I wash around 10 load a day. Sometimes not that many. I just never get the clothes caught up. I sell clothing on ebay and always wash the items and inspect them before listing them. That makes more laundry. There are five people that live in the house and my brother and my daughter both work at night cleaning parking lots with a vacuum truck and a blower, so they get dirty and germy. Their clothing have to be washed daily. It just never seems to end. I do have a washer and dryer at home. Good Discussion. happy [sweetbabyjane]
my goodness you defenatly need to have a washer and dryer at home that is alot of laundry!!! [ladybug565]
I have six boys, so we do lots of laundry each day - 2 to 3 loads per day. [kellys3ps]
6 boys, you sure have your hands full! lol. have a great day. [ladybug565]
I do have a washer and dryer in my home. I have to say that I generally could do a load a week, but don't often motivate myself so when I do laundry it tends to be multiple loads. Now, our house hold is of 3 unrelated adult women. The roomie and I can share tops and I can fit in her sweat bottoms if I need to, but she can't fit in my jeans. Mostly if I wear a pair of sweat pants its really cold outside and I wear them to bed. So, because of this, we tend to wash our clothes together. The other roommate... you got me, I don't have any idea what, where, when she does her clothes, but it is annoying when you find that she's taken clean clothes out of the washer, done her clothes and then put the wet stuff back in! She could've at least started the dryer when she started her wash. grrrrrrr [ElicBxn]
that would defenatly irritate me. [ladybug565]
i don,t have a washing machine so i have to go once a month to a laudry mat and that a lot of dirty clothes for 4 peoples.i spent about 50 dollars when i go to the washer and dryer.i hate it iam use to having a wash and dryer but after i moved in this apartment from my home they had no place for a washer and dryer.iam hoping one day i can move somewhere that has a washer and dryer. [annjilena]
yes, it is hard when you have to go to a laundry mat. I spend about $8.-$15. a week on laundry not counting the detergent. [ladybug565]
we usually have over 5 - 10 loads a week. i constantly change my clothes. [lexstersxo93]
that is alot of laundry. my daughter changes her clothes alot too. I usually wont wash them if she hasent worn them a full day unless she gets them dirty or mixes them in the dirty laundry. [ladybug565]
To be honest, since I began learning in my college, I began washing the clothes myself, now after I graduated from college, living at home, I still washing the clothes myself, I don't use the washing-machine in my home. If I have some expensive clothes I mean the ones that I can't wash them in water I will sent them to the laundry room. [sophia1984]
that is nice. I dont have many clothes that need to be sent to a cleaner just a couple. [ladybug565]
We produce 1 load of laundry a day, at least. Normally I would do 1 load a day, but lately I've gotten back into the habit of actually sorting the laundry, so I'll do 3 loads every other day, and 1 of the loads is usually not even a full load. But nobody can possibly do laundry that often, so sometimes I let it go a couple days and end up doing laundry all day long. I do own my own washer and dryer luckily. [katsmeow1213]
I am lucky to find time to do my laundry once a week, lol. I clean a for a lady and do her laundry 3 times a week and it is usually 3 loads each time. [ladybug565]
i have small family. i wash my cloth everyday by my own self but sometimes i have laundry 4times per month to load my hus cloth [noniefam]
that is good to only have to do his once a week. [ladybug565]
Well, My typical laundry for the week are pants and t-shirt, it's because Sunday is only day that I washed my clothes and pants. [cramino2389]
that isent bad then. [ladybug565]
We have lots of clothes to wash throughout the week. It can be a count of 20 clothes after 2-3 days. but we own an automatic washing machine. therefore we do not have any hassle while washing clothes. we just put in our clothes, and after an hour they comes out dry. [moumitamazumder]
wow that is cool! I would like to have one of those! [ladybug565]
Well, i usually handwash all my clothes because the clothes seems to spoil faster if i use the laundry machine. I usually wash twice a week. Sometimes i feel lazy and will skipp my laundry duty. So i end up washing the pile of dirty clothes few days in a row when i get the feeling to wash again. =) [dramalurve]
handwashing clothes is verry hard work!! I would skip it alot! [ladybug565]
I used to do the laundry before but when my health started to become a major problem, i let the laundry service do the work.. it's kind of expensive but i've got no choice but to spend PHP 1,000.00 a month.. yay! [gracie04]
wow, that is expensive. [ladybug565]
I have a washer and dryer and it is just my hubby and I now. All our kids have grown up and left home and we have grandbabies coming in and out but I do about 5 load of washing a week maybe more. That is a huge decrease from when all the kids were home and our grandchildren lived with us. I was doing at least 2-3 load a day! Believe me, when they moved out I couldn't believe how my washing decreased! God bless you! [mamacathie]
yes, I have one daughter left at home. my laundry has decreased alot since my oldest daughter and granddaughter left. God bless you. have a great night. [ladybug565]
I usually only do one laundry a week (for myself) and I have a washer at home. My mum does family laundry around 3 times a week. It's really convenient having a washing machine at home, means I can put the laundry in at midnight if thats the only chance that I get! [UK_Shree]
I can do laundry at whatever time I want but I would still like to have my own washer and dryer. [ladybug565]
I do laundry for four of us. I do have a washer and dryer at home as there is no way that I could afford to go to the laundromat and do our clothes. I do at least 10 lloads of laundry a week and usually much more. I try to do at least two loads a day and more if I do sheets and blankets. Laundry is a job that I wish I could pay someone to do. [carolscash]
yes, it would be nice to be able to pay someone to do my laundry!!! it is defenatly a chore! [ladybug565]
I do about 3-4 loads of laundry in a week for my family of 4. We have a washer and dryer in our home. [sahmof2]
that is not bad for 4 people. [ladybug565]
I have a laundry room to, and a laundry mat behind my apartment, but I don't use them, I brought me aportable washer, that I wash my clothes in, and then I hang them up to dry, I have 4 loads of clothes to wash, it's just me and my son that live here, and we have a lot of clothes, some of the clothes I have were given to me, buy my church members, I told them not to give me any more clothers, because I have no place to put them.happy [notlistening2]
sounds like me and my daughter we have alot of clothes that people have given us since we lost everything in a flood a couple of years ago. [ladybug565]
I live alone so I don't have to wash that much. I have a washer and a dryer so I don't have to go to the laundromat. I wash about two loads of clothes 1 day a week. I usually do this on Saturdays. Since I am not employment now I don't have a time schedule or a special day. I don't have that many clothes to wash now. [Chevee]
that is good that you dont have much to wash and can do it anytime you want. have a great night. [ladybug565]
I do laundry every Tuesday for 5 people. The entire day is devoted to laundry and nothing but. I usually have about 10 loads to do and it takes about 10+ hours of constant sorting, pre-treating, washing, drying, folding, hanging stuff up and putting everything away where it goes. I actually enjoy doing laundry but if I had to do it every day I wouldn't. That's why I prefer to knock it out all in one day then it is over with for the week. We have a washer and dryer in the house and I am lucky to have a laundry room to work in. I've done laundry at a laundromat before and I would much rather do it at home. [Rachel1919]
that is a good idea to get it all out of the way at once! that is a lot of work though. it is defenatly much more convienent to do it at home! [ladybug565]
I sometimes do 3-4 loads of laundry a week. Sometimes more if I have to wash the sheets and blankets that week. There's only 4 people in my family, so there's not really alot of laundry for me to do. It's even easier since we have a washer and dryer in our house. We don't have to lug the baskets to the landromat. I played that game before we got our first washer and dryer. It was not fun. [CRSunrise]
I bet you were really happy when you got your washer and dryer!!! lugging baskets back and forth is defenatly not fun! [ladybug565]
Hello ladybug. If we have a lot of clothes to wash, we use the washing machine. Otherwise we hand wash the laundry. We have a Samsung Washing Machine, which was bought a few years ago and it is still in good condition though being used so often. So my dear friend, to ease your trouble of doing so much laundry a week, please get a washing-machine of your own to make life easier and more enjoyable. Take care, friend. [williamjisir]
I would love too however we are not allowed to have them here. [ladybug565]
i try to wash every day to every other day or else i feel like im not caught up. we have a washer dryer at home and theres 3 of us in the family (a 4th on the way!). we havent used the laundrymat in years, but its hard work! [steffylikewoah]
hi, congradulations on the baby on the way! laundry is hard work even at home. have a great night. [ladybug565]
i will do 3 loads of laundry in a week .in our house there is only 2 people and so i do 2 load of our clothes and 3rd load is for towels and bedsheets ,so 3 loads is sufficient for us. and sometimes weekly once i will do laundry for 2 loads one after other. [ank_47]
happythat ia still alot of work. have a good night. [ladybug565]
Hi My husband is a mechanic and we are farmers I also work outside of the home. So we have my good clothing about 3 loads per week since I only have 4 pairs of pantyhose and 3 pairs of pants I have to wash them that often. The he wears 1 outfit to barn in morning and then changes for the garage then a new outfit for barn evenings so that is 3 pairs of jeans or work pants , 3 t shirts in the summer but now with cold it is 3 long john tops 3 t shirts and 3 sweatshirts . I also have barn and shop towels and house linens . so it averages about 3 loads per day and yes we have our own washer and dryer but i love summer when i can hang out my laundry and save money, I also love the smell of line dried laundry [frenchcountry]
yes line dried clothes do smell good!!! [ladybug565]
i live with my boyfriend and we have his daughter at least 75% of the time. i am really good at making sure not to get my cloths really dirty and dont wash them every time i wear them. we have a washer and dryer here at the house and its wonderful. we have been to the laundry mat plenty! thats really not fun,....but i did notice i was a lot more careful to conserve on laundry! lol i usually do about 2-4 loads a week depending on exactly how much of the kids laundry i do. [lovinlifemindless]
Hi ladybug, we have 4 persons in our family. My son who works in an adjacent state would come home occasionally. My husband's eldest sister lives together with us. She prefers to hand wash her clothes. She would ask me to wash her blanket and bed sheet using the washing machine regularly happy I still prefer to wash our clothes daily though there is not a heavy load of clothes to wash. I find it's rather tedious to hang lots of washed clothes on the hanger one by one if washing them once in a week. If washing them daily I just have to cope with a few clothes only so it's easier for me. I don't use the clothes dryer, for we have sunny day all the time here. Clothes will get dried easily under the scorching sun By doing this we could save the consumption of electric power we do save our expenses happy Happy posting! [lkbooi]
lol ours is not a big family, just me, my wife, my son, his wife and their daughter, all others kids are in another city, we have a fully automatic Samsung washing machine, we have a maid servant, she washes using this and ironing is done by my wife in the noon while watching tv lol.... Thank you so much for this discussion here. lol I enjoyed responding to it , keep sharing, rasp Cheers surrender Happy posting. ARUN [arun2009]
I do two to three loads a week. I do the regular things once a week, and the Bedding every other week. I think this is the most effective way to get laundry done without breaking my back in the process. I live in anapartment complex with George, and we have two laundry matts here. I like the smaller one, but sometimes i'm forced to use the larger one. [kaylachan]
