How many loads of laundry will you do today?

I’m doing bedding, so that’s two loads.
Dark clothing is another load.
Delicates one load.
And hopefully towels as well.

5 loads today.

So many questions!!
I guess you’re also one of those people who doesn’t understand why their electric bills are so high?

4 adults in my house too and we do maybe 4 to 5 loads a week. Certainly not daily.

No I am not.
It’s very low due to solar panels. Cold washing, outdoor drying.

Only on MN can someone be sniffy about someone elses laundry routine and electricity usage.

There was 4 adults, but my youngest recently passed away, so 3 adults now. Two queen size beds, I do one bed per wash. Towels - 3 bath towels, 1 bath mat, numerous hand towels ( change 1-2 times per day) and tea towels.
All line dried. All clothing washed in cold water. Towels, bedding and whites washed in hot. I don’t own a dryer. Clothing accumulates quickly with work clothes, gardening clothes, gym gear, etc etc …

Why do you change towels so often?! Unless you use hand towels to do something other than dry clean hands....?
