I do the laundry whenever it needs doing no specific days. I do towels and tea towels together on 60 degree wash. Sheets 60 degrees and everything else on 30 degrees just separated into lights and darks, lingerie on its own, hand wash nice woollies. For preference I like to get it out on the line if the weather is good.

Whites on Saturday. Coloureds on Sunday. Sheets and towels on Mondays.
As I suffer from eczema I always use a nonbio washing liquid and I find fairy nonbio to be very suitable

I do the laundry every day so that I can do it on the small load at 30 degrees.I just separate the lights from the darks and wash frequently so things don't get too dirty.I use Fairy as there are several in the household with sensitive skin.

Bath towels are washed at 60 degrees every Saturday together with the bedding, tea towels and towels. We have a deal with our energy supplier for free fuel every Saturday so I have the drier going most of the day.
Other washing gets done at 30 degrees on a short wash and then I reset the machine for a 1600 spin.
We don't have sensitive skin so use whatever is on offer at the supermarket. It does happen to be Fairy at the moment.

I do laundry almost every day. I always separate loads into whites and coloureds. As well as our washing I do at least 3 loads of DGC clothes and bedding to help our DiL out (she works and has 4 kids.) Dil has eczema and always uses nonbio liquid for her washing.

teetime am I allowed to copy and paste your post? That's me to a tee The only thing I would add is that husband has to see to his own sporting gear - I don't do mud on trousers* (golf), nor grass stains (cricket). *In summer he wears shorts so it doesn't matter!

I'm still trying to work out the difference between bio and non-bio but I mostly go for the gentler (non-bio) products.

With only the two of us I do a wash load twice, sometimes 3 times a week. I do a boil wash every couple of weeks for towels and tea towels. Use whichever washing powder is on offer at the time I need it.

No real routine for me other than doing light, dark and towels separately. In the winter I know exactly what will fit on my indoor dying areas so that dictates when I wash, in summer it's looking at the weather forecast to take advantage of a dry day.. sometimes a challenge in Yorkshire! Mostly non bio products for me as so many of the family have sensitive skin.

Apparently - I only ever wash one sock from each pair because that's what I end up with !!

Now it's just the two of us I only do laundry twice a week, split into whites and colours.

One day I'm going to find all those missing socks !

I wash around 4-5 times a week. Work clothes always on a Friday night, bedding on a Saturday, Monday general clothes, Tuesdays are the grand- childrens school uniforms, towels/tea towels Wednesdays or Thursdays depending on how I have been able to get everything else dry.

In the spring and summer months I am "gifted" (by my dearest, darling daughter in law), a huge bag of manky dirty jodpurs, shirts and show jackets on a weekly basis . Likewise I am honoured to wash my grandsons football team strips on a bi-weekly basis.
why the hell do they give scruffy little boys green and white football strips, with white shorts and socks?

I also do heaps of in between handwashing for the family (and now some of my daughters friends too) as I have developed a reputation for getting stains out and washing hard to wash/dry clean only items. My latest conquest was washing and drying an Ostrich feathered party dress. It's funny how everyone thinks that my never ending supplies of detergents are magically topped up by a laundry "FAIRY"

I use a combination of washing products including Ariel Bio, Fairy non-Bio, Vanish Gold, specialist delicate handwash liquid (Asda's own make) and mass amounts of hand cream !

In my previous life I was called Widow Twanky.

Gosh you are all so organised! I do washing when the basket is full, I am wearing my last pair of knickers and resorting to wearing the oldest thing in my cupboard because that is all that is clean!

I have a laundry FAIRY in the shape of dh, who took over washing duties when I broke my leg three years ago. He's never relinquished the task and I've never asked to have it back!

He's very organised, washing like colours together or delicates and so on. A wash goes on most days. My contribution is to fold the dried things and iron them once in a blue moon.

I put the washer on when needed and just separate into lights and darks.Wash most things at 40 degrees.

I do washing as and when needed. Whites tend to be done on Friday evening after my sons week of white shirts from school.
I do separate whites and colours and wash seperatly. I never wash at 30 degrees as I don't feel that this does a proper job. All washing is done at 40 or 60 degrees depending on what is being washed.

In fairness I don't really get very excited about washing clothes, I just put them in the washing machine, add washing liquid and off I go. Well at least I thought that was what I did until I actually sat down and took a few minutes to think about it, I realised I did have a few procedures I tend to follow when washing the families clothes much more than I first imagined. On the whole I do tend to just separate by dark & lights, although for some reason I particular like to wash Reds and Purples on their own with a particular washing agent made specifically for keeping colours bright. When washing whites I always prefer Fairy, this may stem back to my mum telling me when I was little how gentle and kind fairy was, these things I think we feel we forget but actually take on board without really noticing. I always remember my doctor telling me to use Fairy liquid to wash my face when I was a teen, to clear my spot condition, “if it works on plates, it will work on your face” he told me, he was right it did. Can you imagine doctors saying this nowadays, different times lol Anyway my whites do on the whole tend to be made of gentler delicate fabrics and so it has to be Fairy for me for me when whites are involved. Also it does seem to be a brand that I do not have to add fabric conditioner to to get a lovely soft gentle feel. I tend not to fill the washing machine up full, as I have found on many occasions I end up rewashing which is expensive, and not great for the environment. I like always to hang out if possible, just finishes the job off nicely. So it would appear I do have a washing procedure after all, one inspired in part by my mum and a well established reliable brand, who would have thought it :-)

I use one detergent for wools/silks for my underwear, tights and sweaters, a non-bio one for whites and a colour-safe one for coloureds. The latter always seen to be bio.
I buy whatever is on offer.
I like to keep the washing/ironing under control so do a load as soon as there's enough of that category to at least half-fill the machine.
I have a 'sheila' in my utility room next to the central heating boiler and I hang everything from there after it's been outside in the line or tumble dried for half an hour or so.
Leaving it hanging up means a lot of stuff doesn't actually need ironing.

I don't separate dark and light washing, but do always wash whites separately, at 60 degrees. Most of my bedding and towels are white, so there's usually two white washes a week. Everything else gets bunged in together and very rarely comes to grief (one or two incidents with new red clothes excepted!). I used to wash coloureds at 50 degrees, flirted with 30 for a while (but wasn't always happy with the results), and now go for 40 every time. I use non-bio liquid for everything, adding an antibacterial cleanser if there's any visiting-grandchild-related reason to, and go straight for the tumble dryer option when it's not hanging-out weather.

I've no schedule as such, just setting off the machine when I've a full load. But I never hang washing out on a Sunday - that's one of those rules my mother had that have stuck with me

When I worked it was straight home on a Friday to strip the beds, change the towels and sort school uniform darks from lights etc Then the washing machine went on. Out on the line first thing Saturday morning, weather permitting and ironed on Sunday.
Now we are retired I wash when necessary.If at all possible the washing goes on the line for a good blow. I use any non bio and a fabric softener for the sheets . Love a good boil though of DHs hankies and the Tea towels

I do a wash several times a week, I do bedlinen on a Friday. I do separate whites and colours and use bio washing powder for any stained stuff and non bio for stuff that just needs a freshen up. Wool and cashmere I do wash on a hand wash programme with a wool and silk liquid. I like hanging washing out , but this time of year it's just on a clothes airer in the utility room in front of a radiator. I finish off drying for a few minutes in the tumble dryerI don't use fabric conditioner as I have a water softener and the dryer fluffs things up.

I put a wash on whenever there's a full load. Separate into darks and lights on a 30 degree wash with a two in one powder or tablet, whichever is best value at the shops. Liquid conditioner seems to block the machine.
I do towels, tea towels etc. at a hotter temperature with an ordinary bio powder and white vinegar in the conditioner drawer.
DH has some sports type gear that says to handwash, but I throw it in the machine on the delicate cycle with either bio and vinegar or specialist stuff eg. waterproofing. I have also been successful washing dry clean only things this way.
I agree that the line is the best place to dry. Only towels go in the dryer for a good fluff up and sheets when it's wet out. Otherwise I save electricity using a clothes horse in the spare bedroom.

Separate lights and darks and wash about 4-5 times a week, all at 30 degrees using a liquid detergent. Bedding is starched and ironed, but nothing else.

Oh, I love starched sheets, shysal . I'm too lazy to iron these days though, so it's a treat I don't often get!

I use Fairy non bio for our 'smalls' and also DH's shirts as he has sensitive skin.I always wash the same kind of clothes together, ie. all shirts, all towels, all sheets.Very few whites these days to do.
I wash as we need, no routines at all as to day, or time of day.

I'm a bit of a washerholic, towels, tea towels twice a week at 60. Bedding once a week at 60. DH pants and dark shirts once a week at 60. DH vests and light shirts once a week at 60. My delicates once a week at 40. Socks and dark delicates and machine washable dark jumpers once a week at 40. Hand wash when required. Everything spins at 1600rpm.
