Fairy people, are you REALLY going to read all these? Honestly?

So ok, here's mine:

I wash whenever I feel the urge. No routine really. However...

I use caustic soda to wash OH's underwear. I find it encourages a lively attitude. Mine are hand-washed in yak's milk and rinsed in pure spring-water.

Sheets: Boilwash, with plenty of soot added as a fabric conditioner (it's the old ones what are best)

Dark clothes: Soaked in lapsang souchong tea to enhance colour.
Woollens and delicates: Cleaning these requires patience. I hang them on trees in the garden for a twelvemonth, following which I wrap them up with a hundred snails until the next blue moon. This ensures a soft finish.

I'm bored now.

I do my washing normally on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is usually darks and Sunday is lights. Occasionally I'll do an extra wash during the week if it piles up too much.

My laundry schedule? Honestly? OK, here goes...

Ignore laundry all week: at the end of the day, clothes go into a pile either in the bottom of the wardrobe is organised, or a heap in the bathroom if less organised. Any other washing, tea towels etc, in the basket by the washing machine in the kitchen.

Friday evening after work, first dark wash goes on.
Whites and bedding on Saturday morning.

Top tip: Colour Catchers are fantastic when sneaking odd colours into a load

Dried laundry is dumped into chair and ignored for as long as possible.

On Sunday evening, begrudgingly accept that clothes will be needed for work in the morning. Set up ironing board and iron just enough clothes to see you through the week.

Repeat ad finitum until I win the lottery and can afford a valet to do it all for me!

I am very particular, use different products for different fabrics, different settings for different loads etc, I wash twice weekdays, one dark load on a 40 with Ariel colour care liquid and my favourite Lenor for the time of year. Then on another day I wash my lights with Fairy non bio, use Vanish on spots/stains and again Lenor on a 60. Then over the weekend the bedding gets a 90 wash to kill bacteria with Fairy non bio and Lenor, I again do all the towels & tea towels on a 90 but with Daz to get them lovely and white on a hot wash with lots of fabric conditioner to keep them soft. We don't create too much washing, but I like to keep everything fresh smelling and clean! My machine door and draw are left open after use to dry out the drum and stop nasty smells too.

Washing load at least once a day and usually more. I often do some of my
DD and her twins' washing. Towels and sheets at 60% with non bio powder. ( my washing machine repairman said that help to keep gasket mound at bay.) Lights and darks at 40% with non bio liquid and special items in the quick wash. Always use non bio as we are an excema prone household.

Laundry done as soon as laundry basket is full, I am retired, so can do it anytime - I can't stand the smell of towels washed in anything but Fairy Non Bio - I am also under the impression that it is environmentally friendly.

I do a whites wash and a colours wash , i love the smell of Fairy wash, it reminds me of when i had my children and washed their nappies in Fairy powder (no liquid in those days ,lol) then nappies went on the washing line to dry, they came in smelling so nice, so when i now use the liquid the washing smells just the same, maybe i am a silly oldie to think of the smell of my clean washing reminds me of when my children were babies , but its something i would not change , Thank you Fairy x

I wash at least 1 wash everyday , sometimes two. I do my towels in one wash, whites in another. Hubbys work clothes in one on its own then darks and lights

Since DH and I downsized dramatically and inherited a very smart washing machine I have never done anything except on a 30 degree wash. I usually wash twice a week with a liquid detergent on this cycle but if I feel anything needs a boost I use Vanish powder as well and this lifts any serious stains even on a low wash. I do have a bit of washing from visiting grandson and this routine copes with his stuff as well. I know we were all meant to be saving energy but I mainly due to it save money!!!

I am pretty routine when it comes to washing and have a rota that covers different washes for colours, darks & whites clothes plus bedding from all beds in the house and towels from the 2 bathrooms. The children's washes are done separately on Friday and Saturday each week - I like to keep their clothes separate.
I use the same programme on my washing machine, which is probably a sin - but it's worked so far!

I have no set schedule for washing as I find now the children have flown the nest, I can do it when it needs to be done.
I do however separate lights form darks and always use a colour catcher sheet

We separate into dark and light and the washing machine usually goes on at least once a day.

I always do one load for lights and one for darks/colours. I wash bedding and towels separately, both on a high temperature I tend to do clothing on Mondays and Thursdays, when I am at home and then everything else gets done on the weekend. I am more particular about washing bedding and towels weekly, than I was when I was younger.

We don't have specific days to do specific washes (other than bedding, which always gets washed on a Sunday) however I am very fussy about what goes in together so I sort washes into whites, darks, lights, "mids" (stuff that's neither light nor dark) etc. There are five of us in this house and I reckon on average we do 15-20 loads per week!

I wash when there are enough things that need washing together, not like my days are filled with much else now! I don't wash anything above 40 to be honest. Separate lights darks and colours and do the bedding on its own but that's it really
So glad it's only mine and hubbys washing these days though, much less to iron afterwards

My schedule ? Hahhaha.
There is no schedule I literally do it whenever! Sometimes I'll be washing for days sometimes ill leave all my washing for a week !

I don't have a routine for laundry, i wash when necessary. I wash most things on 30 or 40 degrees,bedding and towels at 60. I usually dry it indoors.I use non bio liquid,Fairy for delicates.I never use fabric conditioner. It a good feeling when the laundry basket is empty or got little in it.

I only wash a couple of days a week as necessary - whites and coloureds , now there are only two of us'. - I spent so many years washing for a household of six that I have washed myself to a stand still - but always use Non bio as it's kinder on the skin and my grandson is allergic to Bio washed clothes. I only wash on 30 for delicates or 40 degrees for cotton underwear, bedding and towels - it's not necessary to go hotter. Spin everything at 1200.

Everything on 30 just to save money. Add soda crystals to the washing powder to make it stronger and cheaper.

I generally do it once a week at the weekends but occasionally skip a weekend if i'm busy and do few bigger loads the weekend after

I wash the bed linen on Mondays, other than that things get washed as and when needed. I wash whites/very light colours separately, and everything else together. I've never had any problems with colour running this way. I always use non bio as it cleans just as well as bio, but doesn't irritate our skin. I also think it smells nicer!

I try to keep on top of the washing through the week but working f/t and 4 kids plus activites it can be too much. I then do it over a weekend when i'm not working.

My wife and I both do the laundry in our household. She prefers 30 degrees, but 40 degrees when I do it. Always use non-bio, plus we use white vinegar [and a little bit of essential oil] as a water softener. We both try to avoid doing the laundry at weekends, as we've got better things to do with our time.

I always have a mountain of laundry at this time of year and I just split it into dark and lights all at 40c on same synthetics wash in machine. Only other wash I do is the cat beds etc these are washed on 30min cycle on their own.

Fridays - if it isn't in your basket in front of the machine by 1700hrs you've missed the boat and have to do your own!
