Do you have your own washer and dryer? Go to the laundrymat (SP)

How often do you do laundry?

Bleach the whites?


Just curious! I did a load of laundry today....didnt think I had to until I saw the pile of DH's uniforms on the bedroom floor!! That made the hamper over flow, so I decided Id rather do it now than on my already busy friday!!

AlexsPajamaMama replied: Do you love it, hate it, or dont mind doing it?

Dont mind it, usually

Do you have your own washer and dryer? Go to the laundrymat (SP)

kimberley replied: hate it! simply cuz there is just so freakin much of it!!!!!! wacko.gif really don't like putting it away the most!
i have my own that a friend gave me but they are apartment size so it takes twice as long dry.gif i don't bleach.. just oxyclean and tide free.

MyLuvBugs replied:
I don't mind washing it, just putting all the clean stuff away is what i hate. lol smile.gif

We do have our own washer and dryer that we got as a wedding gift from my grandparents, but the current apartment came with a set already, so ours is in storage.

We do laundry once a week.

I used to bleach the whites, but then I started getting bad skin rashes from using it, so I dont' anymore. i just make sure that I was them well, and put spot stuff on the stains before they set in. smile.gif

luvmykids replied:
Same here, and hate trying to match up socks worse.

Do it everyday, about 2 loads a day, if I don't I have 11-12 loads on the weekend.

Bleach the whites, I love white whites!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I dont mind doing it, I have my own, hope to have 2 dryers someday laugh.gif washer always seems to be done faster. depends I try to get it done in one day but it never seems to happen. I have usually 4-5 loads a week and when I need to wash towles it adds another.

thanks for the reminder I need to get 1-2 loads done tongiht.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: i don;t really mind it.. .but i have LOTS of it.

I re-wear some clothes twice if they're not dirty or stinky though, same with the kids and dh, just to save on having a full load everyday. unsure.gif

I also make everyone re-use their towels at least 3 days too. The towels alone take up a load... they're big and fluffy.

luvmykids replied:
DH always wants a fresh towel, I say Why? Weren't you clean last time you used this one? rolleyes.gif

Brias3 replied: I don't really like doing the laundry. We have our own washer and dryer, which ends up getting used for about 2 loads a day. I hate folding too but I don't mind putting away. I usually bleach whites (undershirts and socks and such).

Momof3inMe replied: I don't mind for the most part. I do about 2 loads a day here I hate to see a big mound of dirty cloths!!! My boys do a good job of taking care of their cloths.

I do bleach my whites, and use stain remover on other cloths.

mckayleesmom replied: I don't use bleach....Brianne + Bleach = disaster rolling_smile.gif

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Do you love it, hate it, or dont mind doing it? hate it

Do you have your own washer and dryer? Go to the laundrymat (SP) have my own washer and dryer but if I have too much and get overwhelmed i have been known to take it to the laundry mat

How often do you do laundry? sometimes I'm good and do some daily, sometimes I'm bad and it will pile up for a week or 2 (or more)

Bleach the whites? yes, if i remember...I try to remember

gr33n3y3z replied: I like to wash clothes and dry them since I got the big guns now smile.gif after that forget it

I make piles and you fold and put your own away bc I wont do it wink.gif

ashtonsmama replied: Do you love it, hate it, or dont mind doing it? It's ok once I get going, I'm just a lazy butt sometimes!

Have our own washer/dryer...

How often do you do laundry?
About once a week, sometimes more.

Bleach the whites?
Only when they need it, not all the time.

AlexsPajamaMama replied:
My same thoughts about towels!!
I use one on my hair and one on my body and those two get used for a while before we wash them

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
SERIOUSLY! laugh.gif It's not like it's 2nd day underwear or anything. I've been known to wear them 2 days if I'm really lazy. (and staying at home of course... lol)

ilovemybaby replied: HATE it. hate hate hate

I have a pile of clean laundry to fold in our bedroom. It's big. Really. rolleyes.gif

3xsthefun replied: I don't mind doing laundry to much. I just hate folding and putting the stuff away.

I don't ever use bleach on whites.

I was about 4-5 loads a week.

TANNER'S MOM replied: I like doing laundry. I like the smells and the products. I don't mind folding it even, I just hate putting away. We have our own washer and dryer and it gets used daily up to 4 times a day plus.


Oh I wanted to say that I like hanging it up neatly..love to see neat clothes hanging up! But why can't my Dh take the hangers out and put them on the rack when he takes clothes off them!


We never reuse towels. I know people who do and it's not for me. While I might clean when I use it, I am sluffing off dead skin. I don't want to put that dead skin back on my skin again. Just the thought of it makes me ewww. Dh and I fight b/c all of us girls use 2 towels for every bath. One for our bodies and one for our heads. We just like it that way. I do have towels that are mine though. The fluffiest! It used to be the big beach towels...cause that was all that I could get around my fat A.. but I have graduated to the small towels now~ rolling_smile.gif

luvbug00 replied: I use 2 towels too and new ones every time . same reason MEL listed ewwwww....

Umm My parents have the washer 7 dryer

I bleach somtimes

I lothe laundry and son't get it done until 20min before i need somthing in the load. smile.gif

holley79 replied: I HATE laundry. rolling_smile.gif Since Annika has been born that's what I feel I am always doing...

We have our own machines.

I do laundry at least twice a week.

I don't use bleach. I have never figured it out. I just throw everythign together... LOL. Well as long as it's not brand new. I do wash towels and bed clothes seperate from clothes. Annika's clothes are washed seperate because I am still using Baby ALL on her clothes.

TANNER'S MOM replied: I forgot to add that I always use bleach. I love bleach and it's my friend. Tiffany even brings me her socks to bleach b/c she says her Mom doesn't know how to use it! That makes me feel good too! Brittany says I am the stain master!

MamaJAM replied: Do you love it, hate it, or dont mind doing it?
I'm not fond of it...but I don't want to become a nudist either...so it has to be done. wink.gif
Do you have your own washer and dryer? Go to the laundrymat (SP)
Yes....I would not live in a house where I didn't have my own (even when we lived in our apartment...I didn't use the laundry room - I lugged everything either to my parents' or ILs places to wash it).
How often do you do laundry?
Monday and Thursday are laundry days....occasionally I need to do towels or sheets on another day - but I try not to.
Bleach the whites?
No - I use detergent with 'color-safe bleach' to wash everything.

MommyToAshley replied: I HATE doing laundry... my laundry room will vouch for that. blush.gif

DH and I usually do laundry while we watch a movie in the evening.

coasterqueen replied: I despise laundry but that's because it seems to be NEVER ending and I'm one of those people who don't like those types of things. tongue.gif

We have our own washer and dryer. I try to do a load every day. I have no issue with putting laundry in the washer, it's getting it into the dryer, hanging up clothes and folding/putting away clothes - that's the real problem. tongue.gif

I do not use bleach, just baby oxy.

BAC'sMom replied: Do you love it, hate it, or dont mind doing it? Hate it

Do you have your own washer and dryer? Yes

How often do you do laundry? Daily

Bleach the whites? Yes

If I could I would just go buy a new wardrobe and throw the dirty clothes away. But that will not be happening anyway soon. bawling.gif

Heather77 replied: Do you love it, hate it, or dont mind doing it? Hate it dry.gif

Do you have your own washer and dryer? Yes, thankfully!

How often do you do laundry? Eeeeevery single day bawling.gif

Bleach the whites? Only if they need it

Edward's Mommy replied: Do you love it, hate it, or dont mind doing it? HATE IT, If I had a washer/dryer I'd love it

Do you have your own washer and dryer? Go to the laundrymat (SP)? I HAND WASH all our clothes wacko.gif
