... can you wash and dry a day?

2 would be pushing it. nothing gets dry quickly if I attempt to do more.

I tend to save my washing until the weekend and then do up to 5 on each day if the weather's nice. If I hang inside I can get a couple of loads dry on my pulley airer.

2 here too.

Unless I use the tumble than about 4

have washer dryer, but it takes ages and have to split the load before putting it on. so I only use it to fluff up towels and to dry the bedding.

ive got 4 loads dried on the washing line today got another load in which might make it onto the line. If not it will go on airer in bathroom and that willl be the end of todays washing.

Not enough Wink

I try not to use the tumbler so I have two clothes horses but on the weekends when I do the beds it's a nightmare if the weather is rotten.

I could do loads .... in practice it's 1-3, more if it's a sheets n towels day.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 23/07/2011 18:18

Personal best is 5 loads. 2 in the dryer, 3 on the line.

Seona1973 · 23/07/2011 22:47

my airers take up to 4 or 5 loads and if the weather is nice I will hang some outside too

Envy I can't even get one load dry in a day (no dryer or outside line). In summer when the radiators aren't on, it seems to take 24-36 hours to dry most things (probably a lot of heavy cotton).
Maybe I need another clothes horse...
I also use the local launderette occasionally where I can dry 3 loads for £1.50 in half an hour.

I have this which takes a lot of washing and you can peg sheets/towels, etc on the sides of it to maximise drying space.
