Well we have no set routine just was clothes when there's enough for a full wash after they have been sorted whites, light colours and dark. We use Fairy capsules since DH developed sensitive skin.

Once a week, usually a Saturday morning I throw everything into the washing machine, because to be honest I have about 3 main outfits and loads of cheap undies so I don't do much laundry.

Towels on Wednesday, bedlinen Friday, and the rest whenever it needs doing but normally at least three to four loads per week of whites/ colours/ darks. I do odd handwash settings at the weekend.

I wash lights and darks separate, I average 7 loads a week and normally Wednesdays and Saturdays. Whites go on 50 degrees and darks go on 40 degrees, everything has a 1400 spin. All have gel tablets, fabric conditioner and a hard water tablet included.

I launder every single day - lights one day, darks the next. Bedding is washed once a week, weather permitting...

I do two clothes washes a week one whites one coloured and then a further two washes for towels and bed sheets.

I do a couple of colours and whites washes a week. All towels and bed linen at 60C and everything else at 40C. The woollen and handwash cycles are used for jumpers, delicates. I only ever use non-bio because I have sensitive skin and add separate stain removers if needed.

Coloured wash after work on a Friday. If Sarah puts it on it'll likely be a half load. If i put it on it'll be like a double load. Ok, i definitely overload it but if it fits...

Hung to dry in the house (winter) with regular rotating to speed up drying. White was set to finish late afternoon on a Saturday and hopefully there's enough stuff dry to create the space.

Sheets and towels only when the rest have dried so could be sunday, could be monday

dont really have a schedule, we just do it as and when needed

probably 3 times a week , and use whatever detergent and softener is the cheapest

I wash my bedding at a higher degree wash to get rid of any bugs but apart fromt that I tend to seperate colours and do everything at a weekend. I never have time during the week.

My laundry schedule is to do a wash every couple of days when there are enough clothes to make a full load. I don't separate anything!

don't let the basket get full! towels and bedlinen alternated every week

There is only me at home most of the time. I have no specific schedule but machine wash when it's necessary. Bedding is done at 60 degrees about every 8 days - 6 - 7 in Summer when it's hot. Towels and tea towels, face cloths are done more often on a hot wash - every 3 or 4 or days. Otherwise when I have enough of my clothing - I separate it into piles according to dark/light, undies and delicates, and wash accordingly on the recommended wash cycle. I do machine wash certain jumpers but hand wash others according to the label instructions. Pure wool items I hand wash, but rinse using fabric softener, and spin in the machine. I sometimes machine rinse twice if it's a heavy pure wool sweater.
I use non bio liquid for clothes and bio liquid for bedding, towels, tea towels, face cloths, and do handwashing and machine washable jumpers and delicates in a gentle liquid designed for the purpose. I use fabric conditioner as a routine with nearly every wash.
I don't let washing build up into a large pile, but think of it in machine loads, although I don't overload.
Have noticed that with the advent of cold fill machines I have to use more pre treatment for staining. Concentrated laundry gel rubbed into a stain and then washed in the reglar way works for me and I've almost stopped using a proprietary stain remover.
My goodness - washing machines and modern laundry cleansers have been so liberating and flexible.

Since retiring no set days for laundry nor special routines. I try to get washing outside on the line whenever possible to give it that lovely fresh air smell - especially bedding.

I separate lights and darks and usually man made fibres and cottons.

Only 2 of us now and I tend to do four -five loads per week. Bedlinen usually done on a weekend.

Bedlinen, towels and teatowels washed on 60 with a bio liquid (Tesco cheapie). Hand towels, flannels tea towels dishcloths changed daily. I rarely do a boil wash.

All other stuff (socks, shirts, undies washed on 30 or 40 cycle with a non bio (Tesco cheapie).

Woolens, tights and silks are mostly hand washed in Woolite and I use the spin cycle to get most of the water out.

I use a little bit of lavender conditioner. I haven't got the space for a line so I use a Beko tumble dryer. It's very good and dries so well that I rarely have to iron anything

It's usually thrice a week.

I have 3 laundry baskets in the bathroom a white one for lights, a turquoise one for darks and a purple one for towels. As soon as there is enough laundry in them to do a wash i will take the basket down and wash what is in it.
I find doing it this way makes it so much easier and don't end up with big piles of washing.

I do my washing during the winter on a monday and get it all done and out of the way but in the better weather i try and do things on good weather days so i can put it out on the line to dry naturally so saving on electric and also having really fresh smelling clothes
i do bedding once a week on 40 also towels and then everything else as it builds up on a 40 wash also i never go lower as i am not totally convinced that laundry really gets properly cleaned at lower temperatures

Usually wash on 30 for most washes, only wash on 60 for bedding and towels. I wash all the coloured clothes together and occasionally have a white wash, I always use the same washing liquid for every wash.

My daughter, husband, toddler and baby are staying here at the moment while waiting for their house to be finished. I don't get a look in at my washing machine!

No real schedule for me. When the laundry basket is full, then it's wash day. 60* for a normal wash and 90* for whites, tea towels, bath towels etc.

I do my washing when the laundry basket is full, after bringing up 5 children I now wash a lot less often and generally find I am only doing half loads every couple of days, compared with 2-3 full loads when the children lived at home. With new technology going into the newer washing machines I also find that there is very little need to use a dry cleaners since these days machines are built to care for most laundry.

On a Tuesday I wash all easy care and synthetic clothes at 40 degrees in non-bio washing powder. Bacteria can survive temperatures of 30 and below. On Wednesday I wash towels, tea towels, cotton underwear and other cotten items at 60 degrees in biological washing powder. When I have 2 or 3 pairs of jeans I will wash them separately along with dusters, floorcloths etc at 60 with biological powder. Woollens and delicate things are washed by hand with liquid soap or detergent. I always hang washing outside, only using the tumble drier in emergencies.

I live alone so the washing machine is not on constantly, and I only have a full load when it is bedding and towels. I used to wash lights and dark seperately but now I put them in together along with a colour catcher. They really do work. In the summer months I tend to wash everything in sight, I love the smell of clothes that have been dried in the fresh air, and when you iron them the house smells so fresh. Roll on the nicer weather.

with 5 adults in the house it's pretty rubbish really. When somebody puts something in the washbin it takes at least a week to appear in a wardrobe again by the time it's gone around my system .. all resh & ironed of course
