Do you do laundry on a particular day or as needed?

Question

For years it was my weekend job but since the energy price hike I've found it cheaper to do small loads more often  and dry on a winter dyke instead of the dryer.

Answer 1

When i run out of clean underwear:)

So true!

I used to buy undies in bulk packages all white!

Now that I have lost down to 129 lbs, there are fewer pairs that fit. Unless I want to be called droopy drawers. Lol!

Answer 2

I think for most people it would depend on when you have free time.

Answer 3

No particular day now. My honey is a doll and does all the laundry to spare my painful back. The laundry is done as needed.

When I worked it generally was on Tuesday or Thursday either of my 2 days off. I usually worked every weekend with the exception of my vacation week.

Answer 4

I typically do laundry on Saturday or Sunday-I pick one weekend day to be my chores day and do all the grocery shopping, cleaning, errand running etc. that day so I have the other day to actually relax. If we are planning to go out of town for the weekend then I do the laundry the night before we leave so I can come home to a clean house. I only do 1-2 loads a week as I only do my son's and my own clothing and the household linens. 

Answer 5

Laundry is done as needed, mostly when the clean towel situation becomes low. Undies too, lol.

Answer 6

Many years ago, I moved from the Chicago area to the Pittsburgh area while my wife and family remained behind to sell our house.  I was teaching full time and working part time at a men's store as well as starting up my own DJ business, so I had very little spare time.  Additionally, the laundry was not in my apartment but around in the back of the building.  If it was in use, I had to come back another time.  Several times, i was faced with the choice: stay up late and do the laundry or go buy some clean underwear.  Usually, I bought the clean underwear.

Since the family arrived, though, and particularly since I retired from teaching and reduced my work load, I do the family laundry on Wednesdays.  On the days when I am baking bread and cookies, Mrs Media helps out a lot with the task  When I'm not baking, I'll do 80% of the laundry day tasks if not more.

Answer 7

Used to be solely on Sunday. Now it's as needed.
