Can you do LAUNDRY in a daily basis?

If you tried to do laundry on a daily basis then you would end up having to do it everyday. Why don't you just decide to do a family member a day and delegate that day as their day. So hopefully, unless you have over 5 members in your family you can have the weekends off. Personally, my Mom does the laundry every Saturday and my dad changes clothes at least 4 times a day. at least she just has him since I do my own laundry. Anyways...good luck.

Hi ya andak2007 Shall we both just curl up in a ball together and cry! . I too have a mountain of washing constantly and I feel so happy sometimes when I can see the bottom of the laundry basket it is a great feeling! A lot of the time I put the washing on during the night so it is ready for me to deal with first thing in the morning during the drier months and I can sometimes get 3 loads done in one day giving me several days off during the week. Now it is too cold to hang my washing outside so I put the machine on about an hour and a half before the heating is due to go on so that I can then hang it all over the radiators. I do have a tumble dryer but only use it for towels and bedding as I am on my own with my three boys and am worried about getting high electric bills for it! Good luck!

I have 3 kids too, so I know how fast the laundry can pile up. I also stay home right now, so that does help to keep up with the laundry. I end up having 2 laundry days a week (with at least 3 loads on each of those days), and that's what works for me. However, I could do laundry every single day, but that would require a set schedule. For example, Mondays I do my laundry, Tuesdays the oldest boys, Wed twin A, Thurs twin B, and Fridays sheets and linens. That would leave my weekends free. I also find it easiest to get the laundry done early in the morning. I'll start my first load once I've come downstairs for the day, even before I start making breakfast or lunches for the boys to take to school.

I do laundry 2 or 3 times a week. I probably would do it more often if I were less tired. There is just my husband and I at home now. But I always seem to be behind in the laundry. I have MS and fibromyalgyia, and my husband tries to help out as much as he can, but I'm not sure that is a lot. He washes most of his own clothes and a load of bath towels but he never folds them or puts them away. My clothes, dishtowels, guest towels, sheets and pillow cases and other general household laundry only gets done when I am up to it. Fortunately we have a washer and dryer in our apartment otherwise I would not be able to cope. It sometimes takes me several days to get the laundry from the dryer to the closets however. Even though your children are small and your washer is small, try making a game of the laundry and get some of them to help you a little in getting the laundry done. And if you can figure out a way you can hang some of it in you home for when it is inclement outside, that should help a whole lot. It sounds like you have extra problems by having to share your laundry facilities with other people. Is it possible that you could figure out some way to share some of your chores as well. You could take care of thier kids while they did some of your laundry or you could cook them a meal once a week for a couple of loads of laundry. When I was young and of child bearing age it was quite common for young women to start child care cooperatives where they would care for each others children for a couple hours every week, while the mother did something different. I belong to such a cooperative for a few years even though I had no children. I would care for your children in your home for up to 3 hours if I could use your laundry facilities. I did other things with the mothers and their children as well, I helped with birthday parties, some times the moms would do their grocery shopping and mine while I watched their children. You might want to try something like. Get together with your friends with or without children and see if you can't figure out a way you can lighten everybody's load by helping each other. Just make sure, that everyone is doing about the same amount of work, you don't want anybody getting somldering resentment building up.:)

I just ask for someone in the household to flip the load from the washer to the dryer or to start the load for me. Then it doesn't seem like as much work. My problem is putting the clean clothes away. I can never seem to keep on top of it. I do hair in my home so there is always towels to be done.

I'm doing the laundry like twice in every two weeks... I prefer to wash a mountain of dishes than to do the laundry...

My wife does laundry twice a week. She does three loads each time to cater for our needs. She usually chooses the days which she is less busy with other housework. © ronaldinu 2008

Oh my... you certainly have your hands full when it comes to the laundry... i cannot imagine how high the dirty clothes pile up... i have mine and my daughters clothes to wash... but i still cannot do the laundry on a daily basis... i do it twice a week or whenever i have the time... since i also have a full time job...

Hello andak2007, I do my laundry 3 times a week. I piled them up for 2 days and on the second day, I will do all the laundry in one go i.e. some goes to the washing machine, some need hand wash, folding and ironing. Usually, during weekends, I don't do laundry, I only do them on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I think if you have a dryer, it will help a lot when you want to do your laundry.

Hello, I suggest you buying a washing machine which will do the washing and drying itself. Do not buy the sophisticated ones, just buy the ones worth around 10K. It will help you with all the chores. Somehow, it has helped our household.

I think that the best thing to do is to separate them as much as possible. I know that some people throw everything in the wash together. My mother taught me to throw everything in wherein my grandmother taught me to throw whites in separately but with towels.. colors are in a different load. If you maybe put towels in with socks and underwear (towels of any color --- ) but socks and unders of only white) then I think it will make it go a bit faster. Towels are fast to fold wherein underwear and socks are not always that fast. It helps for me I know as when I did do laundry (I live with my fiance and his parents, his mom insists on the laundry) it made it go a bit faster! Try also scheduling it. Work shirt day (for your hubby) and then for your children, figure out what they like to wear the best (or if they are too young to decide for themselves, decide what they wear the most) and always keep those clean. Then clean the other stuff later on in the week! I hope that this helps!

No, I can't see myself doing laundry everyday like this. I usually will wash my clothes every week or two weeks. If, I have to, I will. Clothes just need to be bought so that there is not that much washing going on..

Hi andak Whether you're doing laundry for one person or ten, keeping up with the laundry is a fact of life. Get organized. You need to have a place to put your dirty laundry and sort it as it accumulates every day. Schedule enough time each day to sort the dirty laundry, load the washing machine transfer clothes to the dryer, fold the clothes and put them away. Most of these can be done in 10 minutes or less. Be consistent and focus on completing one entire load of laundry each day until you get it where it belongs so it's ready to be used. Indulge in your favorite drink each day and sit down to relax while you fold the nice-smelling laundry... Happy myLotting.. CHEERS!!

hi, Try to color code the clothing of your family. For example it a white day, every member of your family atless where white shades clothing or is light coloured ones, or a dark colours for every one. It easier to do laundry if its in same colours rather than combination one. Or you could assigned a washing day once or twice in a week.

I can... but i only wash my undies (lol) everyday and wash my clothes on weekly basis.

Yes, I do at least one load of laundry every day. I hate it but if I didn't,there would be laundry everywhere in the house. I think that you should just put a load in every morning before you start the day or a load in before bed. However, I do it early because if not I am too tired to do it of a night. I hope this helps!

Oh hun, I'm lucky if I get around to laundry once a week! I'm very lucky that my husband does all of his own laundry so I just have to do mine and the kids. Normally takes two loads but I guess that's really not that bad. Yay for having a big washer!

hahaha!! that is awful.. yes, i am also doing laundry everyday when my kids are still small because they are always dirty, playing dirt. I should wash them everyday. But I am not using the washing machine to cut off the electric usage. Just wait when you kids will grow up and know how to wash their own clothes then you can rest from your daily washing.

Its just me and my husband and we still have loads, but my husband is a foreman on a construction site so he has his work clothes which we do not wash with our good clothes then he comes home takes a bath and puts on nice clothes. I have work clothes and then lounge clothes every night. So still just the two of us we still have tons of clothes, but I was doing it every day and it seemed that I was ALWAYS doing laundry. So I decided that MOnday was my laundry day and that is all I really do. everything from towels work clothes and have them all put up. I like it this way b/c I hate laudry so I just have to do it one day. I hope you can work out an arrangement of some sort.

not at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
