That?s 21 a week, right? What are you actually washing? I?m not having a go, just interested (following ?how many times? thread) in how many people claim to do this much washing.

Yes, some days I might do 3 loads (if one of the kids has a night accident eg) but the next day probably none.
Are you mega washers really doing 21 washes a week? Are you all really dirty? what?s your laundry list, come on, I need to know if there is laundry I am failing to do.
(I have three DCs btw)

Aside from the washing may I ask how often you all clean your ovens ???? Obviously don't answer if you feel it may incriminate

Mine seems to get really smokey quickly I only cleaned it 4 weeks ago and 3 weeks before then as it was given to us but it needs doing again. I only use it approx 3/4 times a week

Reading this has opened my eyes to the fact that I am a dirty slattern .

Admittedly there are just 2 adults and one baby in my house.

Underwear and tops get changed daily, trousers/skirts every other day, pjs every third night, jeans when I can't remember when I lasted washed them! Everything gets chucked in together, but I am norty and use disposable nappies.

Bedding - fornightly, 1 load
Towels - weekly 1 load
Everythign else gets crammed into 2 other loads.
so 3.5/week.

Do about 15 washes over the week.
