Washing

2 of us and I wash about 5 times a week. I sometimes do a couple of extra washes for my son and his partner - their dryer is hopeless and as they have a baby they have loads of washing, just happy to help out if I can. I do find doing the laundry and ironing quite therapeutic, sad I know!

When I’m on my own it’s probably 2x a week. However I have a DD and her family in residence while their house is being renovated. (3 weeks down and ?5 to go 🤦‍♀️) and the machine is on at least 1x a day. GS ‘hangs’ his clothes on the floor then they are put in the laundry. The same stuff circulates, constantly. GD and he both play rugby 2x a week plus football for him so muddy kit to contend with. Oh, and the dog is here. Wet & smelly so I keep on top of his bedding too. Dreading the electricity bill. It’s raining non stop so the drier is used far too often for my liking. Then there are towels and bed linen to add into the equation …….

2 of us, 2 washes, occasionally a third.

I make a conscious effort to do as little clothes washing as possible, it is contributing to global warming, and contributing to the water shortage in this country.

While I do rmemeber some people smelling in my childhood, genrally speaking everyone round me was clean as was the house and there were no clothes or dirt odours. Yet this was achieved with a fraction of the personal and domestic washing we do these days.

I spot clean, I air clothes and bedding, I change intimate underwear daily - and I wash at 60 degrees to ensure that all bacteria are destroyed and clothes.

If you have to add extra chemicals disinfectants to lower temperature washes to eradicate smells and bacteria, then the solution is to abandon the corrosive and dangerous chemicals, their manufacture will consume any energy you save by not turning the washing machine temperature up, not to mention the dangerous waste manufacturing them produces.

Most days, but not all so prob about four or five days.

When DH was alive and retired, it was daily.
Now, I wash for DD2 and DGS2. I like to turn their stuff around as quickly as I can - so often do 5 or 6 loads in a day (mix mine in) then nothing for a week!

Only me now. Probably 2 or 3 washes a week.
I don't change all the bedlinen every week. Duvet cover does 2 weeks.

Once a week unless bedding and towels. Coloureds and whites go in together if room- use a colour catcher and colours don’t run. Towels and bedding saved as far as possible for dry days. Don’t have a tumble dryer but do have a dehumidifier which can help dry if necessary

I use the washing machine when there’s enough for a load. Clothes probably every 5 days, I change the bed fortnightly, so that’s a separate wash, and do a load of towels when the grandsons have been here. Dog blankets and beds as needed, not weekly.

Usually twice a week, a light and a dark wash. Occasionally three times, especially in hot weather when clothes need changing more often.

Live alone; 3-4 washes a week now,

Two adults. One wash a week. Sometimes 2. Depends on the weather. I save up towels and bedding for a windy dry day. We have loads (too much) of bedding and towels so don't run out. Clean underwear daily, but other clothes I rewear several times. It was different before I retired.

Now that I am on my own I wash clothes once a week or once a fortnight, depending on when I have a machne load of clothes that can be washed together.

In the last months of DH's life, I washed every day, as his bed linen and underwear had to be changed frequently.

Certainly not every day - there are only the two of us in the house, so the washing machine is only on once or twice a week, perhaps more if there are wet dog towels to wash. How can people be washing every day if there are only two of you?

3 days a week, including bed and towel wash. I line dry.

Two adults here, the washer is on every day. Beds (1 single, 1 double) changed at least once a week

Many times a day, excepting Sunday.

Yes, I find it easier to do a load every day to avoid Mount Washmore, son and dog render it necessary.

We constantly seem to have Mount Washmore here
