We seldom go to the laundry unless we have some special clothes to wash. Most of the time we will wash clothes at home. It's easy as the washing machine will do everything.

Hi youless...so far all the laundry is done at home using a washing machine. I have not personally taken anything to the laundry shop for washing before. Not until today even. The comforter and blanket we use is machine washable so I wash it at home. But in the past, I have gone to the laundry shop to collect some sofa covers for my grandmother. I thank God we have a washing machine as it really saves us a lot rather than taking our clothes and stuff to the laundry shop.

hi youless! ... he he he.. you know, we are all very lazy that we just rely on the laundry shop at the corner of our street.. .. honestly, we are all too busy so more often that not, we bring our clothes to the laundry shop and then pick it up the next day! we just do the laundry for the underwears, hankies and other super light ones, but the rest has to go to the laundry shop.

he he.. no, i am not! its just a matter of priority. i give up some things in exchange.. like watching a movie - rent videos instead and watch at home, or give up pizza delivery and buy local bread at the store nearby instead.. things like that! i can give up some other things, but not this one. i am really lazy doing the laundry myself.

We do our laundry at home, also with the help of our washing machine. Its a lot cheaper than going to the laundry, here the charge is around $.50 per kilo. It can get pretty expensive since we usually use denim jeans which are heavier than slacks, making it more expensive. Good thing we have my mom in law to operate the washing machine for us.

Hello aseretdd. It is true that it is very expensive to have clothes washed in a laundry shop. Here in my working place, it is as expensive as more than one dollars to have just one suit washed. It is not worth it to pay for it, but better hand wash at home, I think.

samsung washing machine - We use washing to do the laundry. We do not take them to a laundry shop for washing.
Good afternoon, youless. Long time no see. Well, we don't take our clothes to the laundry shop, but use our Samsung automatic washing machine to do the laundry. I agree with you that the washing machine is able to do a good job. Besides we don't have any special clothes that need special washing. A washing machine or hand-wash is good enough to us. Have a great day, friend.

On 100 out of 100 times i wash clothes at home,and i dont go to laundry.. only reason that i can site is that i am satisfied only when i wash my clothes, when others do it for me i have a feeling that it is not properly washed.. and so no laundry.. haaha.. also it has few advantages.. saving extra bucks.

i cant remember ever going to the laundry.. i dont buy clothes that are 'difficult/troublesome' to wash - i prefer to buy clothes that you can wash yourself - with the washing machine or handwash.. so that's why i've never been sent anything to the laundry.. only once - because i do not have a dryer at home.. and it was a rainy season - i had to take my 'wet' clothes to the laundry and paid them to 'machine-dry' the clothes for me..

Hi youless! I do wash our clothes at home. I only go to the laundry if there are some clothes that are delicate to wash such as gowns and suits. But the rest, I just put everything in the washing machine at home. LOL! Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

I wash my clothes at home daily because just like yours I don't have any special clothes to wash. Just throw inside the washing machine and everything is done.

I don't think so. We always use washing machine to wash our clothes, but nothing wrong with it.

I prefer washing my own clothes.I cannot use dirty things for a long time. And I do it in the weekends. But it is not easy to wash heavy things like curtains,jeans, or bedsheets in my own so,I prefer giving this things to the laundry.

Well, with the washing machine at home, there's not a need for us to take it to the laundry unless it's dry cleaning? That's also like once in a blue moon? I think I've only done dry cleaning about 3 times so far up till now in my whole life? Hahaah

hello, I wash our clothes at home using the washing machine. Actually, i just finished washing our clothes about one hour ago. and I'm a bit tired. But before when we don't have a washing machine, we just bring the clothes to the laundry, and pay about 250 - 400 pesos a week for the clothes. But still sometimes I consider bringing the clothes to the laundry so that my time will just be spent on my son on a weekdays when i don't have work. have fun

In fact I don't think it's so tiring to wash the clothes at home. As the washing machine already does everything. We just need to hang the clothes and that's all

we are used to washing our clothes here at the privacy of our home. but if we have important clothes to wash, we always go to the dry cleaners for a cleaner and nice cloth.
