[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. My kids  and my DH know how to do laundry, but  I do the laundry every day. At least 2 loads- daily.

Why?

The family quickly falls into doing lazy laundry. Minimal sorting, whole lot of products, hot water, large loads, don't fold, pile dried clothes on the sofa - It is gross and the clothes come out looking dingy and pilled.

- I sort clothes into many categories, 
- I treat stains and work on stains until they disappear
-  I use color catcher in my loads, lysol sanitizer for stinky clothes
- I use minimal products and speciality products when washing clothes
- I uses extra rinse to get all products out of the fabric
- I use different settings (size, temp, duration  etc) for each load to make the clothes come out clean and not wear them out. 
- I clean the washer/dryer.  Make sure that the doors are propped open, drain out the filter, remove lint, use affresh to sanitize it.

Family does laundry in a lackadaisical manner. They are waiting for personal robots to do all this work.

Well you have unusually high standards of laundry but how can you blame them for waiting on someone else to do it when you openly take it over and refuse to let them do their own. Do you think they will magically leave your home understanding this Byzantine system of laundry rules they never had to do?[/quote]
