Poll...How Much Laundry?

[ArizonaGirl]

Hi all,

I just finished doing 6 loads of laundry today and I last did laundry Friday or Saturday.

I was joking with DH that I could easily do a load of laundry a day.

I do laundry for all of us and we are a family of 4.

How much laundry do you do?

How many people?

TIA

I have about 12 loads a week for the 5 of us.

-I overseparate (whites, hot water colors, darks, lights, reds)
-My oldest is 5'2 and 95lbs, so it's another set of adult sized clothes
-we don't reuse towels from showering (it grosses me out)
-my DH wears work clothes and gym clothes every day

2 loads a day, 5 days a week; 4 people.

You guys are already making me feel better.

We wash towels and sheets weekly and my kids are both still pretty little.

And I underseparate.

4 people, at least one, usually two loads per day every day. Sigh.

4 people, both kids in school uniforms and multiple sports, and DS1 is the size of a (smallish) adult. I do laundry twice a week. Wednesdays it's usually 3-4 loads. Sunday I do sheets and towels plus all the clothes so that's usually about 8 loads.

I do one load of whites, one of colors and one of darks per week. We have a huge capacity washer and we live in t-shirts and shorts here so I feel like the laundry volume is smaller. But we do a ton of towels and sheets. Maybe four loads a week? Probably almost one per day. DH is really particular about his work clothes (jeans and j crew buton ups actually) so he washes them individually in very tiny loads. I'm not sure how much that adds up to!

4-6/ week. Because the laundry is in the basement, I can keep a mountain of sheets and towels so I only wash those when we run out of our (way too big) stash in the linen closet. If I had to wash those regularly too, add another load/ week. All clothes go cold/cold, dry low- no separating here.

6 people and 1 in cloth diapers. I do all of the laundry. Towels twice a week (2 loads each time), bedding once (2 loads, will be 3 once youngest has her own bed). We do cloth napkins and no paper towels, so a load of napkin/kitchen towels every other day. At least 1 load of clothes a day, more during sports seasons. In summer, lots of pool towels too.
