[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do laundry every 2-4 weeks unless I have a specific need. I have enough items that I don’t even need to rewear anything but winter coats/shoes/gear & I have multiple sets of sheets & towels. I do rewear certain items, then I rotate them out for a while, but not things like underwear, socks, or workout clothes. People always ask me if my outfits are new, but usually they’re just outfits I’ve rotated back in. I haven’t shopped for more than a handful of clothing in 5 years & I usually buy secondhand. Anything stored for a time is clean & in watertight bins. Anyone saying that doing laundry once a month is disgusting, as they’ve said for other people, just doesn’t understand. Most of my dirty laundry is not stinky & is contained in a couple laundry bags. I even pre-wash underwear in the shower & let them dry before hampering them for a full wash, I don’t like bad smells & have an extremely sensitive nose. I live alone & only have to take care of my own things. And I love wearing different things from week to week, I get bored, plus my favorites don’t get worn out quickly. I also don’t have time to do laundry weekly, certainly not every DAY that’s insane!! I understand the need to do laundry more often if you have multiple kids for example, but I still think every day is outrageous & I have no idea how working people can do that. I’d have no life unless I hired a housekeeper, which I can’t afford. I would also never do the laundry of another adult unless they were elderly or disabled in some way. If they won’t do it, they simply won’t be living with me anymore lol. Teen adults can be tough, I get it, I guess they can stay ;). Just in general.[/quote]

You're immune to your own stink and just can't smell it (but I assure you others can, and your home reeks).

I do kid laundry two days a week (everything they wear seems to get gross and they would also otherwise run out of clothes).
I do towels one day a week.
Cleaning lady does linens every other week when she comes.
DH does his own laundry, and I don't really know what his system is.

I wash my clothes only once every other week (it's a couple loads on every other Sunday afternoon/evening).  I obviously wear underwear, socks, t shirts, tanks, blouses, tops only once, and I have a lot of clothes.  I totally re-wear jeans, pants, certain dresses, sweaters, pajamas...   In between washes my clothes go into hampers that have lids that snap shut.  These hampers are in the back corner of my walk-in-closet, which is down a small hallway that is off the primary bedroom, which is upstairs down another hallway at the back of the house.  No odors are escaping the hampers, but even if they were, they certainly are not permeating from there down to the main level of the house where we have guests.  That's just ridiculous.  Sundays evenings are a restful, at-home time for us, and this system works for me.  [/quote]
