To ask how many clothing washes do you do a day?

[ByeFeliciaa]

Starting to think my family are manky 🙈
Have just put on my first wash in 6 days. As a family of 5, its built up (I've not been well enough)
But I've only got another load and some towels and sheets to do. So another 2 washes.

Speaking to a friend who does 3 a day I'm wondering how she has the time?!

I should add that our washing machine is 9kg so fits more than usual and towels get reused if it's just been the kids that use them or they were only used for drying hair.

Am I really that unusual?

Family of 5, 8-10 loads per week, 10kg machine.

chester how ?!
Us two adults have 1 load a week, consisting of knickers, a few pairs of socks, 2 pairs of bottoms, a few pairs of pyjamas, tea towels, a few tops, work uniform X1, (swimwear doesn’t need washed since it’s soaked in bleach as standard and not touching genitals). Barely enough for one load a week.

chester are you drying your clean bodies once with a towel and then choosing to wash the towel? Why not wash your bodies better, and then you won’t need to wash clean towels multiple times a week?! My mind is boggled with these threads, people who choose to have a kid and therefore have lives strewn in vomit and piss and lice etc-great, use washing clothes as entertainment, but for the Childfree; why wash fabrics for no reason?

Entirely depends on what else I'm doing. Sometimes have a 'binge day' - 3 washes if all the baskets are full or it's a good drying day. Most other days nothing at all. Maybe 4 a week average - adult, 2 kids, dog.
Towels (that people can't be arsed to hang up so have stayed damp and manky - otherwise dry out after use and wash once a week). Towels can also go in with jeans as they're all dark colours.
Bedding - fortnightly so on average once a week.
Wool wash - for jumpers, maybe every 3 weeks obs summer less.
Dog stuff - towels, bedding, when required.
Then a darks wash and a whites wash for the rest. And once in a blue moon a red wash!

Family of two, not five... but we just do a couple of washes each week. Saturday night, we do a clothes wash and then a bedding and/or towels wash. I don't really understand why anyone would need to use the washing machine multiple times a day?

At least two a day...family of five.

But I have a bedwetting nine year old and a toilet-training two year old
among us so it’s mainly pissy sheets and pissy toddler bottoms 🙄

Every other day. Works out 5 mins a day, of putting stuff in the machine and hanging wet laundry one morning , to folding clothes away next morning. We don’t iron except special outfits on the weekend.

Linen and towels get washed alternating once a week on the weekend.

2 adults and 2 toddlers

I do about 3 a week but there's only the two of us.

52Popc0rn yes I do! I will chuck coloured pants in with the right colour wash but do the black ones all together with some dark night dresses of mine. All of my washes are full loads so I don't see how not sorting them would mean less washes per day. My jeans and hoodies are thick and heavy, usually when I do a dark wash it's already full and I can't fit them in.
