My day usually starts withe a load of laundry and ends with a load. Some where in between I get in folding, hanging and sorting as well as putting away. well, maybe that takes a bit longer. I have had baskets pile up of clean laundry waiting to be placed in the appropriate places. But after a while I see a sea of laundry and need a break. A small laundry day for me is three loads. That is laundry for five people, towels, clothes and linens. If it is a cleaning day or sports day for the kids, the amount is more. I hang what I can to dry and I usually wash in cold water.
Did I mention that laundry is never ending?
I really do not mind. My kids help as much as they can with folding and sorting. But when it comes to the washing, I prefer to do it myself. It wasn’t until I became a mom that I realized how much of a chore laundry really was. So to make it easier I keep on top of it. If I let it go for one day, it is a nightmare to catch up. I watch for coupons and sales and stock up on the things I need to make life easier.
So far we have only had a few instances where whites turned pink, sweater shrank and socks were never found. With an active family we have all kinds of laundry issues and rely on OxiClean to keep our whites white and brighten our colours.
With Fall around the corner and many with children back to school OxiClean wants to help you take a load off. Check out the tips sheet I posted last week!

no real routine. when the pile gets to be a load of colour and/or whites, in they go. in nice weather it gets hung out to dry.
I wash and dry clothes, towels and sheets separately and will only separate colours and whites if necessary.
Our laundry routine is pretty simple. We do laundry when the basket is full. We also do a load of cloth diapers when we are close to running out.
I have no routine. I do it when it amasses.
On weekdays I do not start the laundry until 7 pm or later in order to avoid the high cost of hydro and I do most of my laundry on the weekend for the same reason. I have a he washer so it uses a much smaller amount of water but I have to use he detergent.
My laundry routine is three times a week to do a wash and dryer load to keep up with it all! A glass of red wine each time I complete
Late a night I put a load of laundry on. It's my peace and quiet…really
I aim to do a load a day…I generally use cold water too.

We usually do three or four loads on the weekend
I try to keep it to two loads a week.
I just bought a new washer and dryer. You pay a fourtian and they don't clean. So now I use bakind soda and vinegar to get my whites white and it really works. If I could get the old wringer washer I would.

I sort and do whites, sheets, towels and clothes separately each week.
I do one load of laundry every day while I'm cooking supper.
I do 3-4 loads a week and just work it into the daily chores. I use liquid detergent and I use Oxy a lot since I have cats and there is always a mess. I do not use softeners at all.
My routine is to pack it all up and ride the 2 miles to the nearest laundry mat. Wash it then dry it and finally fold it all up. Pack it all up again and head back home.
I generally do the laundry at night, about 3 times a week.
weekend mornings, or waiting for non-peak time.
We live in a triplex with shared laundry facilities and we get two days a week to get our laundry done. So it piles up and we do it all at once. If we miss a day things get sorted by importance (work/school clothing, ect). We do blankets, pillows and coats once a month or once every other month.
It seems like I am constantly doing laundry! I try to not let it get piled up!
I usually start my day by putting in a load of laundry, then I hang it when it is done, or if I lose track of time I at least hang it by the end of the day… I only use my dryer for sheets and towels. My daughter is in charge of folding towels, which I put away because she is too short to reach the shelf, and my husband is in charge of folding/putting away the sheets, except the kid's ones that I fold and put away. Oh, and usually before hanging the newly wet clothes, I take off, fold, and put away the dry clothes from the previous day that are most likely still on the drying racks.
I do laundry about 3 times a week!
I usually try to get some in first thing in the morning, and then fold it in the afternoon during nap time.

We don't have much of a routine – just getting it done whenever we can!
i do laundry every day. at least 2 loads, most days more. if i skip a day i tend to be overwhelmed and it will take me weeks to get caught up. so much laundry.
I wash every nice day in warm weather and hang outside to dry in the winter months I wash on Mondays and Thursdays
I let it pile up and then do it all at once

After washing clothes and other items I try to hang dry as many items as possible.

once a week everything gets done..then I don't have to think it about for another week
When I can't walk through the house anymore without stepping on laundry: empty clean clothes that have been in basket for a week, putting them away, then refill basket with dirty clothes from pile on floor. Put in washing machine and turn on to wash. Forget about for 2 days. Rewash as necessary, decide against clothesline because I don't have the time/energy, put in dryer. Forget about for 2 days. Move into laundry basket and take upstairs to sit for a week. Repeat.
I try to only do laundry on the weekends, which can be hard with two active little boys.
I do it whenever I have two loads to do.

I don't use a laundry hamper – I just throw everything into the washing machine daily and when it is full I do a load ..
I try to do my laundry around the rainy weather so I don't have to hang everything up in my bathroom
hot wash for kids and gym clothes, cold wash for the rest
just do it.. all the time.. getting tired of being the only one in my house who does the laundry.
every day after work I throw in a load!
I don't really have a laundry routine, when the weather is nice I do a wash so I can hang it on the line, in the winter I often hang them on a clothes rack if there isn't too much of it. This saves money and when the clothes come off the line they smell really nice!
routine? … well, we avoid buying whites, so we dont seperate our laundry … I do the Cloth Diapers with littelest's clothes once a week (almost trained, not night trained) and we change bedding once every 2 weeks, and wash 2-3 loads of bedding once a month, and the rest of the laundry on the weekends
3 loads on sunday night
I do laundry almost every day so there's never a big load piled up!
well atm i don't separate anything lol, and i only do laundry once every 2 weeks or so!
Right now it is two loads 2 times a week with at least 1 load each time finding it’s way onto the clothes line.
I do laundry every week, and I work very hard to get clothes clean. This would more than help!!!

Hubby washes and folds in the evening and I put away in the morning.
I do the laundry at night and on weekends
I try to do it 2 to 3 days a week on off peak hours of course.
I usually wait for a sunny day with some wind so I can put my clothes on the line – only use the dryer for certain items and emergencies.
I don't really have a laundry routine, but I usually will do it all in one day. Luckily there is only three of us, so it goes pretty quick. Although, lately I have been doing one load each night since my son needs certain clothing ready for the next day.
I usually do laundry 1-2 times per week and usually in evenings
Clothes pile up until a washer load or two. Seperate the clothes into whites and non whites and wash. We also wash washclothes and towels seperateley.

i just wash whenever I had a load , I don't like to it pile up
@ loads per week usually
I do at least a load a day and am very particular that it is separated properly before washing. I iron almost everything.
Don't really have a routine. Just do laundry when it starts to pile up. I try to fold it and put away as soon as possible, or the basket will just end up sitting there for days.
We have to haul city water in so we combine all family's laundry when time to wash clothes. The kids have to empty pockets and put clothes in the light, dark or red piles. I wash the clothes and put them in the dryer. After the clothes are dry I lay the kids clothes flat on their beds and they have to hang them up and put them away. I hate sorting socks so all the socks go in a sock bin and we all sort socks while watching a favourite TV show.
Wash twice a week, soaking my husbands dirt layered socks and shirts in Oxi Clean before washing.
I sort my three loads into my laundry baskets & my fourth if it's blanket/curatin/throw rug week my fourth load gets sorted into the bathtub until my first load is finished & put away so I can have a basket back!
My laundry routine is generally to do it on the weekend in order to benefit from the energy savings as the evenings are just too tiring.

My routine would be constant. LOL. I have five kids and my washer/dryer is going every moment I am home!

No laundry routine…just try to get it done whenever I can.
Laundry routine is watch the weather if it's nice enough to hang to dry then that is laundry day. Save electricity costs.
