Ireland
There's quite a difference between Irish and US terminology on these things:
Not used very often other than in technical discussion: Laundry or detergent.
Detergent : washing powder (sometimes even even it's washing liquid or liquid tablets). Older people tend to call it soap powder even though that hasn't really existed in decades. Detergent is of course understand but it's technical terminology.
Softener: conditioner.
Washer: washing machine or "the machine".
Dryer: Tumble dryer.
Laundry room : utility (room).
Airing cupboard (UK) : Hotpress (Ireland)
Cupboard : press (old English word that clung in in Ireland).
Clothes line : washing line
Laundry hamper : clothes basket.
Water heater : hotwater heating or the immersion (even when it's not an immersion heater which was a very specific type of electric water heating element in the hot water tank)
