How many loads of laundry do you do per week?

[ronhic]

We average 6 loads a week and have done for years now.

Whites - 50-60c
Lights - 40c
Darks - 30-40c
Sheets - 50-60c
Towels - 40-60c depending on which towels
Dog bedding - 40c ....thankfully from dogs that don't moult and are groomed every 3 weeks(love a Wheaten terrier)

Sometimes a load may flip to the next week, but then something always seems to take its place such as pull-overs/sweaters/jumpers or filthy garden kit.

Hello ...

5 - 7 loads/week

Bath towels
Bed linens
Shirts
Jeans
Undies/t/shirts
and, possibly, cat beds and blankets and that increased it to 9 loads

LG front load LG gas dryer. And, as you can see, the top of the dryer is a great nap location for George Herbert.

<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: helvetica;">Two of us, 4.5 washer, I do about 4-6 loads per week just depends.</span>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">1 load of Colors (T-Shirts, socks, colored underwear, etc.)</span></li>
<li>1 load of Jeans - Cold water, low spin, hang dry</li>
<li>1 load of shirts that I wash in cold and hang to dry</li>
<li>1 load of white T-Shirts, warm water to reduce the bands shrinking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I used to do these on the Sanitary cycle but I didn’t like what it did to bands and the bottoms of the T shirts.</li>
<li>1 load of White towels, white kitchen towels, hubby’s white socks using the Sanitary cycle, Prewash, Steam and probably other options if they were available!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Cycle ends up being about 3.5 hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>His socks are pretty bad as are the kitchen towels but everything comes out sparkling white.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I use Persil powder and OxiClean – great results!!</li>
</ul>

I try to do everything as efficiently as possible, so my set up is probably different than most.

I do at least 4 loads per week for a family of three. Lights and whites done together account for one load, then my darks have to be split into two loads, then my husband's filthy work jeans are last. But it's not often that I only have those loads to do. I alternate between doing rugs one week and bedding the next week. In the winter, I will have a load of coats every week too.

If I am pressed for time, I will just do the four loads I first mentioned, but then I have to play catch up the following week, so that is only for situations where I have no choice.
