i dont do my own laundry, i send it to laundy shop..i do it once a week...though i am thinking on buying a small washing machine since i feel like my clothes now are easier to fade in color, dont smell that good, and list goes on for the disadvantages..the only advantage is i can get more sleep since i dont do it myself...sleep/rest is very impt for a busy laz like me..i work at night and study in the morning so when can i do my laundry? oops one more i dont good at it anyway..lols
what about you? you wash it yourself or send it to someone else's care?

i do my own laundry, i don't like the thot of someone else handling my clothes. especially my underwear. when you have a washer at home you can throw a load in and do something else. then switch the load to the dryer, and do other stuff. then unload an hour later or more. you can work in into your schedule. and it gets done.
to you can do a small load a day and it won't accumulate on you into overload.

My husband washes the laundry on the weekend. He hates the way that I hang up clothes so he insists that he wash the laundry. Just get married and make your husband do it

A lot of my clothes have certian ways they need to washed and I would not trust anyone other than meself washing them. Except for my sons maybe since I taught them everything I know about washing clothes.

I do my own laudry this is simply because I have certain wahing powders that I like to use,a favourite is Persil,I also like to use a good fabric softener,and this wouldnt be done if I were to send it to a laundry,the use of the good washing products help protect the fabric,and look after it,ensuring that you get the best from the clothes that you wash

I can't afford a laundry shop, but I wish I could! I also like to wash my clothes and linens in things that don't have fragrances or dyes in them, and I haven't seen many laundry shops that actually follow through with that. Laundry shops also tend to press laundry, and there's nothing worse, for me, than ironed clothes!

My husband and I do the laundry during weekends. We don't send it to laundy shop. We're not just used to it. Even when i was still single, i did my own laundry. I'd like to take care of my own clothes.

Well I have a washer and dryer for as long as I can remember, for me it is just better to do my own, than to send it elsewhere for others to do it.I live bymslf, do not have to wash very often.

yeah i agree with you but it is more of better said than done on my part...my mom rants always about this thing, she eeven asked to get all my laundry and send it to her on weekends if i cant do it myself, cos she notice that my clothes are not the good like theirs..
there are times she go to my place to wash my clothes for me...she is so sweet at times lols...i love mom...hehehe

I have always thought sending laundry to a laundry shop is a good idea, however I can't afford to do that even once a week. I finally have my own washer now and I prefer to do my own wash at home. When you send something out I think you might run across a problem with the care of your clothes. Maybe they aren't getting washed the way you want them to. That's not to say that professional laundry cleaners aren't always competent in their business.
In the long run, I would just rather be command of my own laundry.

the only thing fro laundy shop is that it is more convenient but the quality can be compromise most of the time..i mean you cant keep an eye on them on how they wash your clothes ayt? so i really hope i can have my own washer..and i have the urge to buy it and think of doing the laundy myself..i havent dont it for the longest time..
