Does the Laundry ever end?

It's all done one night and the basket is full again the next night!
How do you keep up with it?

A load every other night.

plus on Friday nights...
one load of the kids uniforms for the week
one load of my work clothes
one load of DH's no-iron shirts
*** those three all get hung up to dry and put away Saturday morning.

plus Saturday morning:
two loads of sheets/blankets
at least one load of towels, sometimes two
*** I rotate and wash comforters and other blankets once a month. Tried to do it more often but I just couldn't keep up. Not home and awake often enough.

I keep on a schedule with it otherwise it would be too overwhelming.
Sunday - baby laundry
Weds - towels/sheets/reg laundry
Fri - laundry that isn't dried/blankets/anything else I think needs washing
every 10 days or so I do my DHs white tshirts

Sound gross but we rewear pants and sweaters. Plus, we take showers at night so sheets get done every other week. However,we live in a walk up. We don't havewasher and dryer, so we have to make it as easy as possible.

Re: Does the Laundry ever end?

I do it as soon as the basket is full.

Although generally I don't fold it all and put it away until the weekend.

With DS, DH who is in construction, and me taking a yoga class pretty frequently, it adds up quickly.

I try to do it as often as possible- usually that translates to 2-3 times a week. With a baby, I find myself doing much more laundry now. I don't think I will ever keep up!

Re: Does the Laundry ever end?

My "secret" is to do one load EVERY day. I load up the basket before I go to bed and have DH put it in before he goes to get (usually 11ish). I then throw it in the dryer at 6am when I get up.

This is NOT a good solution, but with both of our crazy hours, it's the only thing that's helped. We do the laundry and then use one of our spare bedrooms and dump the clothes on the bed. Then, we just go through it every morning to find what we need. There's not enough time except weekends when we're both exhausted to fold, iron, etc. Hoping to get back to normal soon.

Does the Laundry ever end?

I have been slacking big time on the laundry front! I do about 3/4 loads a week, but lately my basement becomes the laundry room and i just leave the clothes down there and get what i need the night before!!! Very very bad habit!!!!!

For those that don't fold right away, doesn't everything get wrinkled?
