I do my dishes fairly often, but I can be lazy about laundry. Today, I don't have to work until 3 PM, so I'm going to declare it laundry day. Lots of t-shirts and socks to be done. Oh, and my flannel pillow cases. How often do you do laundry?,.

I wash the dishes a couple of times a day so they don't call ants or roaches into the house. I do my laundry about once a month. We rarely go anywhere to dirty outside clothes so I only have to do my gym shorts, underwear and bedding.

Does Pretty do her dishes and laundry separately? Or do you trade off somehow?

@TheHorse I do all the dishes and most of the cooking. I clean the kitchen everyday and the toilet once or twice a week. She does her own laundry and vacuums the house a couple of times a week and cleans the tub/shower once a week. I have trouble cleaning floors so that is her job. She hates cooking so that is my job.

Once a month for sure but it will be more than one load and not necessarily in the same day.

I didn't do all of my t-shirts today. And my sheets. They will have to wait until next week.

@TheHorse As long as you have what to wear it can wait.

Generally once a week, unless I have something that is not going to fit in the washer with the clothes or that really needs to be laundered...so sometimes twice.

@TheHorse I used to be a bit random at times when George was working, but things settled once he retired.

It's good to have a schedule. Mine is a bit "random."

I do mine every two weeks, I try to keep my clothes to a minimum because I can be a messy person if I have to much stuff. I have enough for that time span with a little wiggle room if something unexpected pops up like come to my wedding. No, I hate weddings.

Twice a week or it depends how many times we changed clothes. It's so hot here now that we shower more often

Mostly I do it when I have enough for it to be worthwhile. Sheets and towels get changed weekly and are usually washed the same day.

I do the laundry when it needs doing. There is only the two of us and The Mister is away all week, so I don’t get his dirty stuff til the weekend. I am at my Moms once or twice a week , so we have very little washing really. I put a wash on when I have enough for a load.

Night or early morning everyday. If I'm really caught up with work and had no energy to do laundry. I'll do it on weekend.

I wash the dishes immediately after we finish our meals. Laundry at least once a week. There are all the time towels, socks underwear and t-shirts to wash. Every other week it's also the bedsheets.

No specific time. When the laundry basket gets full, J does a load for me. I'm going to have her do a quilt, my blanket and a couple of pillow covers for the new pillows I bought for my SIL's stay next month.

My wife handles most of the main stuff. She does it often. I am in charge of the whites and the towels and rags. I do it when we get close to running out.
