How many loads of washing do you generate a week?

Just for me, it would be one load. There are two of us, so it works out to 2 loads. In summer, I mean in decent hot weather, I do around 4 per week as I catch up with things I don't normally wash during cold weather.

Me personally for clothes only: 2
Bedding: 1
Towels (all house towels)f: 1

7*3/5 is about 4 per person per week

For me, one load of clothes and one load of bedding. My towels would go in the bedding wash if I were living alone.

Our household is the same, everyone has one load of clothes and one load of bedding. Then one separate wash for all our towels.

I’ve never separated clothes by colour, we just don’t wear anything light coloured! My son wears white polos as part of nursery uniform and I just don’t care if they’re slightly off-white. His school shirts will be red and then literally nothing except his vests will be “light”.

The OP says - im not talking about as a family, or your kids who do seven sports. Just you, as one person.

My towels are a light/mid grey so they can be put in with either lights or darks, no need for a separate towel wash

I have never separated by colour

I don't wear white anyway and not much light coloured clothing

That's not a lot, OP. I do three loads a day! Family of 5.

How are people saying one?
So you not have lights/darks/whites plus towels and bedding?

I do mine separately so have a reasonably good sense.

I do one of standard clothes - my exercise stuff goes in that too

And then one of something else - towels/bedding, bras (I do these all together around once a month), knitwear (similarly - around once every few weeks, will do all my knitwear on a delicates cycle)

We have a 10 kg machine

Two adults here. Laundry is my job, and we tend to have:

One wash of bedding
One wash of towels
Two clothes washes
Most weeks one hand wash (mostly mine, knitwear) at this time of year, which then gets spun

Also random loads like sofa throws, the cat’s beds, dressing gowns etc on a good drying day - a few times a year.

I line dry as much as possible, all the bedding went out on Friday, but we do have and use a tumbler too.

Omg how?! Theres 2 of us and we do 1 bedding load, 1 towel load and 2/3 clothing ones. Not being arsey genuinely interested

5 people - about 7 a week

One clothes and one towels and bedding I would guess

my gym kit doesn’t go smelly if it’s aired dry before going in the heap

no I don’t wash underwear separately - my bras are Molke so not delicate
I don’t separate according to colour and don’t seem to have a problem

sunlight is a bleach and I don’t wear tight clothes so I don’t need to wash trousers after one or two wears

If it’s just me, DH and the guinea pigs then approx 5, 2 for general clothes washing, 1 for linen (towels one week and bedding the next) and 2 for guinea pigs (cage liners and their towels). If the DC are home, quite a few more! DS created vast quantities of washing all summer - sports washes, white shirts for his waiter job, and seemingly unable to wear anything more than once before it needed washing.

I do about 7 a week for a family of four ... once a week is whites. Sunday is swimming stuff and towels . Only change bedding once a fortnight so 1.5 washes per week.

If it was just me I'd probably manage about 8 loads. Some of that is gym kit that can't hang around and has to go on a small, quick wash.

For me and two teens it's at least 14 loads a week.

1, maybe 2 dark washes
Bedding
Towels
1 coloured wash
Then every 2-3 weeks a white/lights wash

All for a single person. I do some sort of exercise daily so there's always a gym kit to wash or swimming costume, I have a part time job I wear uniform for, then normal day to day clothes, and on rare occasions, going out clothes.

Probably once a month I wash the cat beds and horsey stuff, but that will be multiple washes - 1 on empty to rinse out any detergent in the machine, 1 wash for the dirty items, an extra rinse cycle with the items still in, then an empty cycle with washing machine cleaner in.

Hard to say as an individual because many people
on here don’t live on their own and so aren’t just washing for one person - although I know that is what the OP asked.

i can’t work out how people are doing so few loads (either for themselves or for multiple people). Do people not wash underwear separately from everything else on a higher temp? Delicates like bras separately from jeans? Bright coloured stuff separately from pale stuff? I wish I didn’t have so much washing all the damn time - but I can’t see how to cut it down.

I feel queasy about the poster who said they have worn jeans for a year without washing them. That is very odd for something that is worn around the crotch area and also must have sat on multiple seats all over the place by this time - eg public transport?

I was bedding every fortnight. Clothes 1-2 a week. I am mostly at home…

I do 3 loads a week for 1 adult, 2 teenagers. That includes the bedding/towels. So one load per person. Large drum and only do full loads.

Just me. Maybe 1 every 10 days or so on average. I don’t do my full bedding every week, nor my towels because they simply don’t need to be washed that often. I rewear clothes (except underwear) because they don’t need to be washed after one use of a few hours.
I don’t own a tumble dryer so everything is line dried.

There’s no need to if you use bio powder

We do a washing load per day for a family of 2 adults and 3 children. For me personally, I’ll say i generate 1.5 loads per week

Yes absolutely .
Kitchen and bathroom/s cleaning cloths and tea towels plus bath mats and I use white flannel daily for balm cleansing. These form basis of my whites load .
