3 loads a day - blimey! Do your lot do loads of sport? Kits to wash? I do about 8/10 loads a week - spread out over 3 days so I am not doing laundry all week. But then I do have some slovenly habits which would earn me some on here.

foxinsocks · 27/06/2007 12:34

3 a day?

that is freakish

Quattrocento · 27/06/2007 12:36

I do 2 loads a day and have 2 boys therefore the laws of mathematics mean that you should be doing 3 loads a day.

is mr cod a giant?

Wilbur · 27/06/2007 12:38

Have you got a big machine? That really helps. As does a dh who will wear his jeans until they walk to the washing machine on their own.

Whoooosh · 27/06/2007 12:39

We do at least two loads a day and sometimes three-and I don't have three boys-I think you are doing very well....

My new washing machine takes 7.5kgs and has changed my life for the better....

smurfgirl · 27/06/2007 12:40

Buy a bigger machine.

God knows how I will cope when we have kids - its never ending here now (we both wear a uniform for work and it creates so much washing).

One dark wash, one white wash per day here. Any others requiring special treatment or hot washes like towels etc are done in addition to the 2 a day. I don't think you are freakish tbh - sounds about right.

oh yes, you are sorting too much. FAR too much.

I just do whites (every now and then when they are looking mucky) and non-whites or if in a rush, shove it all together and put a scoop of vanish in.

Only other separating I sometimes do is a separate wash for all the towels (because they are so big and bulky and take up washing space).
