You must have a ton of clothes!

Nope, not a lot of clothes. We only put clothes in the laundry basket if they are really dirty (food/paint stains) or smelly. Otherwise, I hang them up and let them air out.

1 parent, 1 child

typical is 4 loads per week:
1 sheets/towels
1 whites
1 colors
1 mid-week hodgepodge

variations more common than not

Three kids two adults. I work out twice a day (training right now) and the kids each have sports 2-3 times a week plus weekends. I wash the sheets once a week. Probably 14 loads a week when I include towels etc.

1-3 loads a day. Just DH and I, plus our delightful 3 month old "happy spitter" (you know, the ones they say are just a laundry problem) who also must be a happy pooper. (She's between diaper sizes and we seem to be having a blowout a day the last few days). Both she and I seem to go through more than one outfit a day - some days 2-3 each, depending on her aim.

Then, once every few weeks I do DHs dress shirts and the bulky bedding. Sheets and towels would be included in the load count above.

We just replaced our very old washer and dryer with newer, bigger ones but it hasn't reduced the load count much.

4 children - 1 load a day 6 days a week.

2 adults and 2 kids. 12 loads a week. One small load daily (towels etc). 5 loads a week of dark clothes (usually every other day and maybe two on a weekend day).

2 adults and no kids. We do one load a week. This thread is making me terrified for the future.

I think this is our house sometimes, too.

This! Family of 5 with and my three boys are smelly, teenagers, and athletes. I have two washer/dryer sets and it is scary how often we are using both at once.

Just the two of us, no kids, 1 load per week

2 kids, 3 loads (crammed full)

OK are you all running full loads? It takes DH and I a week to fill our hamper and that's only one load. Our sheets and 2 towels can be one load. Do you all have super small washers? What am I missing?

2 adults, 2 kids (both girls - the point of this will be obvious below)

7-8 loads/week:
- husband's work shirts
- dark socks and underwear
- dark gentle
- pink (yes, really. A full load of pinks. God help me.)
- light gentle
- whites (sometimes x2)
- towels
