So, how many loads of washing DO you do in a week, MN??

[PeeAche2]

Inspired by the poor MNer that is doing 4 loads a day... tell me your laundry schedule.

Mine is very straightforward:

2 children and a cloth nappy baby
1 load per day - put in before bed on an eco cycle and hung out the next morning before work.

If I am ill, drunk or forgetful, my schedule falls behind by 1 day and I give zero shits. "Because I do not exist to do your laundry."

If someone pisses the bed, I am willing to do an extra load. But I will be vocal about it.

We're two adults and probably do about 2 loads a week? I tend to mix everything together (whites, darks, colours) unless it's newly purchased/never washed. I've never had any issues.

2 adults, a 5yr old, 2yr old and newborn with fairly bad reflux. At least two loads a day. If I don't do any one day, takes me ages to catch up. Baby is changed a lot due to being sick. 5 yr old in last year of nursery/preschool and always coming home with changes of clothes from playing with water, etc. 2 year old cannot stay away from dirt 🤣

2 adults and a 8 and 6 yo
6 or 7 a week. But I could probably manage 4 or 5. Slightly smaller loads makes it all more manageable.
do most at the weekends and perhaps 2 during the week

No cats here but bedding and towels are
not washed weekly. Nor do they need to be IMO.

2 loads a week and that's everything! We are clean too so what are we doing wrong? Towels, swimming stuff, nursery uniform, bedding...utterly confused about how people are doing 5 loads a day!

You wash a hair towel after using it once?!

Same. Family of 5.

1 a day. Usually. Often 2

2 adults and 3 boys (filthy blighters 😆)

10kg machine

2-3 loads a day and 6 on a Sunday as bedding and towels done then. I’ve no bloody idea where the F it all comes from 🤣🤣🤣🫣

Just a joke. Obviously I don't actually berate children for bed wetting. 🙄 Chill.

You are doing nothing wrong!! You are doing the probable normal amount of washing per week. Similar to what I do. Really don't understand those who wash towels / sheets / lightly worn clothes etc every day although really don't care what others do. I'm happy that me and my family are clean and I'm happy with that

Once a week, twice at a push if I am washing towels or bedding. I live alone.

Me, dh, ds and dd2 (both young adults, I'm assuming dd1 does her own laundry In her own flat 😂).

Probably 4 loads a week for dh and I (he wears fresh clothes to work every day and I'm a terminal dribbler when I eat). Ds (20) is fussy and does his own, 2 loads a week or so. Dd2 (18) needs reminding and is probably 3 loads a week, partially work uniforms).

Then a load of towels at least once a week, and 2-3 loads of bedclothes.

Total on average 12 a week, so 2 per day with Sundays off!

how do you have time left to live life between so many loads if laundry 😅

Dh, dc (young adult), and me - 4+ Per week

How do people get it all dried and ironed?!

3-4 a week. There's only me, DH and DD though. Mostly all our uniforms.

Two adults and two under 6 here.
Approx 5 loads per week.
Bedding done every 2-3 weeks. Hand towels done weekly, other towels less often. We do re wear clothes when possible too.

2 colours and 1 whites at the weekend and 1 extra colours mid week. Extra washes for bedding and towels as and when

Probably at least 7. I try not to do a load every day but usually do multiple loads when I do wash.
Towels and bedding each week. My DP's uniform too. Large amount generated by 3mth old and toddler. I think the sicking is finally reducing from the baby so this has reduced the washing from at least 1 load a day to being able to miss days and catch up later.
Saying that, I've just fed him and he looks like he's going to puke everywhere.

2 adults, 2 DC. Averaging 3 loads a week. But I'm a laundry ogre. Clothes only go in the basket if they're obviously dirty or smell. The only non-underwear items which have a single use cycle are DC1's polycotton school shirts. Towels, which we use to dry our gleaming, clean bodies, are washed weekly. Bedding fortnightly.

On threads like this I'm always 🤷🏻‍♀️ at the excessive towel washing.

Guess once you start it's a bit of a compulsion or something? Or cost of living hasn't hit us all yet?

10-11 a week. 2 adults, 2 kids (one cloth bum)

There are 4 of us - 2 adults, 2 teens .
5 loads per week, 8kg machine.

Varies. 5 a week? 2 of clothes per week, plus bedding, towels not every week. 2 x teens.
