How many loads of laundry do you do a week?

[MrsAnamCara]

What's normal? I feel like I never stop! Once I've done the weeks laundry, and finally sorted it all out, I then have to start it all over again!

Seriously, just DH and I:

One dark, one light load every fortnight

I don't wash after every wear and when one set of sheets/towels is in the laundry basket we use the other sets. I have about eleventy billion undies.

Obviously I need to pick up my game

16 loads ish a week.

2 adults
4 kids

One and a half .... three every two weeks. And an extra one when the bedding needs doing, which is as and when I feel like it, since there's only me and I'm very clean

Far too many. Twin toddlers and a dh with a mud-mtb obsession. Although the amount of laundry I do a week suggests that there may be people living here I haven’t met yet...

2 adults. I've never really counted, I'd guess average a load a day, maybe more, but in practice it's mostly crammed into the weekend. I run loads of lights, darks, jeans, socks, and towels, and the other person does their own.

What are those colour catcher sheets people are talking about?

A towel wash.
Two bedclothes washes (won't fit in one go).
About five dark washes (school uniform and DH).
One white wash (school socks, pants etc).
A 'too bright for darks or lights' wash.

Plus a quick 30 min wash for kit every time the kids play football or do a dance class (not enough kit to save it up), which is several times a week.

2 adults, 1 child.

Week 1:
I whites
1 darks
1 handwash cycle

Week 2:
I whites
1 darks
1 handwash cycle
1 colours

10/12. Two adults, three big teenagers. Workwear, sportswear, bedding, towels... and we're certainly not wash towels after every use people.

But there's probably 2/3 gym kits, four/five shirts, five lots of underwear and a pair of jeans going through every day, minimum.

@kaytee87 I wouldn't have a clue how many loads DH does either. Laundry doesn't really feature on my radar. Clothes get worn, they go in either the general or the delicates basket and then at some point they reappear in my wardrobe. It's fab :)

However, the OP's question is irrelevant. How much laundry any household does is dependent on how many people in the household, whether any of them have jobs which require laundering of uniforms (or whether they get washed at work), how many of them are children (which seem to generate more going by the above answers), how many of them have a hobby which renders them very sweaty or dirty or both.... From this I would gather that the amount of laundry done in each household which results in clean clothes being available when needed is therefore the "normal" for that household. There is therefore no "norm" as there are so many variables contributing to it.

Each individual answer is of interest, in that case.

I go back to my original answer - none.

Just me: 3 washes. One dark, one light, one bedding.

Me? 1
My husband... about 7

Shitloads!

Minimum one a day, often two. Sunday is a minimum of three usually as my children suck at knowing where laundry lives.

One day...

Far to many. At least twice a day. I only wash DCs bedding (except for youngest) if they strip the bed though. Eldest son has been home from uni since last July. Have never washed his. I think he waited until it walked of the bed, binned it and bought some more ☺

About 1 a day. I don't mind doing it and drying it. It's the putting it away. It sits around for days in the basket after being washed out n the kitchen.

Whenever I build my own house ( in my dreams) I will have a laundry room upstairs so there's no traipsing up and down the stairs with dirty/ clean clothes.
