I'm just wondering Guys, how often do you do laundy in a week?.. I do mine 3x in a week because of the kids uniform which are quite many. Is it good to wash clothes as often as you can in a week? How about water bill or laundry service charges? Please share your thoughts and happy posting!

Am I the only one who does laundry everyday? We have a small washing machine, so it can fit 5kg load. There are about 5 people in the house and if I wait to do laundry three times a week, I may end up with many rounds of washing to go through. I have to check my utilities bill very soon about this. There has been some changes to how things work around here.

I do'nt do laundry, it's my wife's chores. But last week my wife was out of town, I was forced to washed the clothes that I and my kids wore in a week, though it's hard for all my kids shirts and uniforms were somewhat dirty, I have finished them right on time for my daily work. As my wife came home, I have recieved a greatest compliments from her. She said " wow nice try "...hahaha! it was really not clean as she does.. but I have tried..hehehehe!

We do our laundry twice to thrice a week. Like yours, it is because of my niece's uniform. I haven't tried laundry service because I practically lived with my parents my whole life. I was only away with them when I had my practicum in college but I just washed my own clothes because I had fear of losing some of them if I will bring them to the laundry service.

There are only my husband and I in the house, there are not so much clothes to be washed daily, so we wash our clothes about twice a week. I usually wait until the amount of dirty clothes can be fit into the washing machine, then only I'll wash. Otherwise, I think it's a waste of electricity bill and also water bill.

Hi there MJM!
We have our laundry washed once a week. I think that it's the best option because it is done in the middle of the week so we won't run out of clean clothes to wear and the amount of the clothes to be washed are just right for the payment for the laundry services.

hello mjmlagat,
Before, when we don't have the washing machine, we wash clothes everyday. I don't know, but I don't like to pile my clothes and wait until I have lots to wash. I feel tired looking at it. But now that we have the washing machine, we only wash twice a week. However, those undies and brassiere, I make I wash them everyday. It seems lacking the hygiene having it stuck along with the pile of clothes.

I have to do it everyday as my daughter is small. From the past month, the dryer of my machine is not working. So, even I feel lazy, I know that the clothes will remain some what damp and there is absolutely no space inside our flat to hang the clothes. Further, my hubby hates the damp smell inside the flat.

I probably do a couple of loads of laundry every day and still can't seem to stay caught up! My husband is a mechanic so he gets himself and everything else really dirty, plus I have three children. My daycare business also generates some extra laundry because of using more washcloths and handtowels, dishcloths, blankets, pillowcases, etc. Good thing I don't mind doing the laundry!

Since its only me and my son living at home I do my laundry once a week. Of course when my two other boys are home I would do it twice a week. But my middle son is away at college so he isnt home often and my oldest son is in the army so I wont see him much.

Hi mjmlagat :-) I normally wash the clothes once a week, as there are only my husband and my clothes. Not too many for one week. :-) I usually make it on weekend.
We rent a room outside, the water utility is already included into the rental, but we have to pay extra 55 malaysia ringgit for the electricity. It's considered quite expensive as we live in the expensive area. :-(
