For me, it's about 3 loads a week on average. It's definitely not much laundry, especially considering that both of my machines are "compact" washers. I'm just a single guy living alone, and my job usually doesn't get me all that dirty. I try and make full loads of wash before cranking up the machines, and I try to minimize the amount of laundering my clothing gets, so that the clothes don't wear out as much. I have noticed most of my clothes age more by laundering than by wearing. I enjoy just operating a piece of machinery...any machinery...appliances, automobiles, lawn tools, you name it Still, I like doing laundry, it's just that I don't generate enough of it to do it as often as I want to!
I have 4 sets of sheets for my bed, and I usually change the sheets once a week, so there's the potiental to get at lest 4 weeks out of bed sheets. When they're all dirty, that's at least 4 good loads of sheets with towels included too.
I can also usually get two days out of clothing I wear to work during the wintertime because I don't sweat hardly at all. After two weeks though, my clothes give me about 3 good loads of laundry between work duds, weekend wear and the socks, underwear, etc.
My dirtiest clothes though are my gym and excersize clothes. I only wear them once to the gym, so with 3 trips to the gym a week, I can get by with doing 1 load of gym clothes every 2 weeks.
I think due to my lifestyle, I have one of the lightest laundry loads of any household. People think it's odd that I have two washers considering the fact that I don't have that much laundry!!! Having both a top-loader and a front loader though allows me to use the machine that best suits the job. I like washing sheets and towels in the TL, especially because I can soak them. Clothes though usually get washed in the FL machine.
