I have used non-bio powders for years due to it sensitive nature and always had excellent results from hand washing to 60 degrees in the washer.
The washer is on every 2/3 days now there is only the two of us items are not dirty as such just need refreshing really.All bedding is done Sat/Sun with bottom sheet changes mid-week along with bath towels.
Fairy products have been used for handwashing of underwear and delicates for as long as I can remember I don't think I could name another brand I would be comfortable with for delicates.

I always sort through the laundry basket on an evening after putting on my pjs and get a load done ready to peg out early next morning. We do the bedding once a week and the towels every couple of days. You'd think we wouldn't have much now there's just the two of us but there still seems to be a lot. Although what often happens is that there isn't quite enough for a full load for a couple of days because there's a few whites, a few colours, a few darks, one wooly jumper, then suddenly there's four loads all at once and this usually happens when it's bed-changing day too lol.

There are three of us in our family, and my husband and son are always tinkering with oily machinery or out in the garden, coming in covered in mud.

Therefore, there is always lots of washing to do! I separate dark, heavy clothing such as jeans and overalls, dark clothing and lighter, more delicate items, doing separate washes for each, giving a longer wash for difficult stained items.

I usually wash at 40 degrees, using biological washing powder and adding Vanish stain remover, otherwise the stains refuse to shift.

For delicates, I prefer Fairy non bio, as I have a slight problem with psoriasis, and this product doesn't aggravate the problem.

All the dirty washing in our house goes straight into the washing machine until it is jam packed full. Then I separate the lights and darks and do a fast wash on both because none of our stuff ever gets really dirty. I have no particular day/time for doing the washing, it just depends what's there and could be once or twice a week. Once the washing is done, it's on with the central heating and I load the radiators up with clothes to get them dry quickly.

Whites and dark on Wednesdays and Saturdays
Swimming towel and costume on Thursdays
PE kit on Thursday
Towels on Fridays
Bedding on Sunday

I do a machine wash Thursday nights so that it is dry by the weekend. I do a further wash at the weekend for duvet covers and sheets

Fridays is for trousers shirts and underwear. Saturday household and bathroom stuff and mondays sheets and pillowcases. Except for Mondays I don't use long washing or hot just 20 minutes in cold water.

Schedule???? Don't you just do the washing when it is needed?

I have no particular routine, I wash whites or coloureds when I have a full machine load. When I have a very small amount of whites usually once a week I do the bedding, sheets and duvet sets, singles one week doubles the next. I switch the machine on first thing and then I shower and have breakfast.

Not so organised as most, only being the two of us I do the washing when the laundry basket is full, usually just finished a load when my hubby calls down to me, do you want my dirty washing grrrrrr !!!! I seperate the lights from the darks , boil wash towels and tea towels. One sock always manages to escape and land on the floor beside the wash basket!! The bedding once a week ! And bath mats etc once a week ( I love watching my washing blowing outside weather permitting. )

The usual white and colours, hot & 30/40 respectively. Usually spread over 4 days i.e every other day for both...

As and when it's needed, darks and whites separate. Towels without fabric conditioner too

Monday is a general colours quick wash at 30, Wednesday is bedding at 40, Thursday is towels and tea towels at 60. Any whites or delicates (we don't really have many of them), I'll either pop on for a low temp quick wash or handwash whenever needed. We use non-bio because we're a bit itchy and scratchy!

Most things are clean enough for a quick wash in my house. Unfortunately this wash doesn't seem long enough to fully dissolve a tablet so I have to use old school powder.

i usually do one every other day alternating colours and whites

Every Monday - usually general clothes, then sheets and towels.

I have those ikea bags - one for lights, one for darks and one for what i call "stinky" wash - mainly the man's work clothes! and then bedding bag (bedding changed weekly cos we all greasy here). Thats 4 bags i stack next to the machine in the utility room and i wait for them to fill up as a full bag is a load for the 11kg machine. The only things that dont go in the bags is the school uniform which i hand wash then spin in the machine, and my delicate underwear for special nights out etc (but day to day i wear sports bras so they go in the dark wash) and things like my crochet granny blanket which i hand wash and spin gently.

The stinky and dark wash goes on at 60 degrees with bio and if its smelly i add a few drops of zoflora to the drawer. The other stuff is 40 degrees non bio and i only use fabric conditioner for the bedding, the rest doesnt really need it - but i dont over do the powder i just use the minimum and our water seems to be on the soft side. I tend to just use powders (even for hand wash) as i find the liquid and tabs seem to make the washer smell! i avoid gunk in the drawer by putting the powder straight in the drum - its only ever cold water that rinses the drawer so thats why i think its better in the drum. since doing this my machine has been so much more fresher!

I usually run a tub clean program every fortnight after one of the stinky washes which is a shocking 95 degree with bio and a good squirt of stardrops, sometimes i dont use stardrops and put half a bottle of white vinegar in. Sometimes the washable mats we have go in the stinky wash (but sssh dont tell the man that).

Very occasionally i will remember to wash things like curtains and they normally go on a 40 degree on a hot sunny day. All of the washes go on a 1400 spin.

Only disaster i had was a waterproof gardening hat i chucked in with the stinky wash which was completely disintegrated when it came out!

I used to dye my towels and bedding in my old machine, but dare not do it in this one as it stained the rubber seal on my old machine.

Cant wait for summer again instead of using the tumble drier - dreading the electric bill and i actually enjoy pegging out in the sunshine its lovely!

I would say yes my laundry habits have changed as i have got older - i used to read every label, running half-loads and hand washing far too many things, and now i just bung it into which ever wash bag i think suits it and wait for a full load! far easier.

I don't know, I'll have to ask my in house laundry correspondent! He prides himself on getting any stain out of any clothing. I buy bio, non bio and colour liquids, they all seem to get used. We always have clean clothes! He always puts a wash on when the sun is shining - we have PV panels. He always puts towels in the tumble drier, he hates line dried cardboard.

We do a couple of loads a week. My husband is in charge of loading the machine which means I have a few oddly coloured 'white' bras!. He puts it on the timer to wash over night. If the weather is good we prefer to hang outside but use the airier during the winter.
I always do the ironing!

Washing machine goes on at least once every day of the week. Drying then takes the form of either using the small dryer or if we have the multi-fuel stove on it will be on a maiden in the living room. Summer sees at least 2 loads being washed a day, particularly if the weather is nice as it is put on the line outside for drying.

I d all the washing on Thursdays on my day off, I sort out into the biggest pile and do those colours first, then crack on with the rest. I use various different setting - bath and bedding for towels and bedding then 60 for whites, 40 for colours.

Put machine on when a load has built up (though have been known to roam the house looking for things to "make up a load". Do lights, darks and whites separately.
Normally dry on a rack in the boiler cupboard, but DH's latest obsession is that this stops the boiler working properly (not true says the plumber, but what does he know? ?)
So now I use the tumble drier more frequently, but recently installed smart meter shows it is not as expensive as I thought. Three cheers for technology!
As for washing capsules? Have to confess I use what's on offer or supermarket's own. Rebel!

As I have eczema, I always use non-bio powder. Have to be careful with conditioners, usually the cheapest as it has least perfume - the water is terrifically hard this part of UK.
Usually wash the bedding on Friday - all washed at 60C as it kills most germs, especially Candida etc.
Clothes washed anytime, but usually Wednesday. Delicates which get hung up, whites and then coloureds - my theory is if one coloured item is left and washed with the whites, all the whites get stained; the reverse is not so true... only one white item gets stained!
Fold and iron the same day, usually watching something mindless on TV!

Open the washer door
chuck whites or coloured clothes into drum.
Add detergent to washer
Close door
Pour fabric conditioner in to drawer
Set temp clock
Press start
Job done

Get on with the rest of life.

As there's only me I wash as and when necessary, probably 2x a week, one dark one light. I use a powder with softener included and wash on the quickest cycle : 30 minutes @ 40 degrees. This only spins at 800 so I usually whack it onto a 1400 extra spin. Yesterday, I went off piste and washed the bed linen on a 90 degree cotton wash which made me feel very virtuous and the sheets smell well and truly clean ? In winter, I use the tumble drier for towels and everything else goes on the clothes horse in the utility room and if we have summer everything goes on the whirligig in the garden.
