yes I do it at night it saves electricity, our electricity plants asks us to do the laundry not in peak hours (day) if we can avoid it and I just always do my laundry at night for years now.

Hi, mobhomeir. Two years ago, I used to do the laundry at night and in the early morning hours. I enjoyed doing it then. It gave me a chance to get a head start. But now, we don't have a washer and dryer, we take our clothes to the laundromat up the street from here. I would like to have my own washer and dryer though. They offer one here at the apartment complex that we are staying at, and it costs a good bit of money, so we just take our laundry to the laundromat instead.

Hi mobhomeier, My room mate/best friend and I actually like to do our laundry late at night, 10pm or later here in California. Our apartment complex has a laundry facility but there's 90 apartments or so, so it tends to be quite busy through out the daytime and early evening. It's much more quieter at night and you don't have to worry about waiting for a washer or dryer since there's a decent amount but not as many as an actual laundromat. It was so much less stressful for us to do our laundry the other night, no waiting around, we we're the only ones washing clothes, it was nice. I told her we'll definitely have to always plan to do it later at night unless we notice nobody is really washing clothes at some point during the day.

We live in an apartment building with 30 apartments, and only 2 washers, and 2 dryers. My husband and I will do the laundry either in the early morning or late at night, because we want to make sure that we are able to get to the washers and dryers before the whole entire building wakes up and starts using them.

Dear friend, I do it on holidays, at nights I do like to have some rest. Moreover it all depends upon my moods to do it. I mostly do it on Saturdays or holidays. If not I would just give to the servant.

Hi mobhomeir, I am also doing laundry at night on working days. As I am working, I don't have time in day to do the work. In our native, there is a custom, don’t do the laundry at night (which is considered as a bad thing) but the place I stay now, there is no such rules. I think many are using washing machines to wash cloths (machines can work any time, lol)

I hate to do laundry at night. Mostly, I don't find time to do laundry at night. I work from 11 am to 8 pm. I will reach home only by 8:30 pm. I don't even have the time to cook after that. My husband doesn't like to go to bed late. I have a maid who helps me with cooking and laundry. I only do laundry of undergarments, that I prefer to do in the morning because I have enough time for work in the morning before starting to office.

Oh, now I know where the idea came from of your previous discussion I have responded to he he... That's great delegating the house chores with your wife and so, you happened to be in the contract for laundry. Well, that's not too bad. When both of my hubby and I were working before, I seldom did the laundry in the morning. Usually, I only had the time to do the laundry during weekends or my off day. Well, ironically, it's my rest day, but I still have to do the house chores. Anyway, I did do the laundry at night as well when the whole weekends were raining or I just washed something that I needed to wear on the following days that were still in the laundry basket. These days, I normally do the laundry in the morning, a few times a week, so, no more doing the laundry at night.

I don't wash our laundry in the evening because I feel tired and sleepy that time. I prefer to wash our laundry in the morning so I can hang it outside and under the sun. Me and my mother always wash our laundry because I can't do it all by myself.

Yeah mobhomeir we do our laundry at night because i am so occupied with my job and work , have to do many things in the day time that's why i always do my laundry at night. not even laundry but many things more like washing dishes and all. i Get so exhausted by doing all this so now i decided that i will do thrice a week then everyday. This will make easier for me as i will get more time for rest and to enjoy.Oh god so much work to do everyday.

I always do my laundry at night. It's not during peak hours and I know I won't have to leave the house and leave them sitting in the washer so long that they get that gross smell.

yes some times i do my laundry at night but I try not to because it's apparently not supposed to be good to hang laundry up at night. i don't have a dryer so I hang the clothes up to dry. and apparently clothes are best sun-dried... but if I really don't have time then i let it dry overnight and it workds pretty well cos by the next morning i can fold and keep them.

ofcourse most of we daily work holders must do the laundries at night since we have no time to do that on the working day time. sometimes i also just do the laundries at the weekend but that will collect too much to complete that day. so i'd like to sepereate it several times so feel not so tired with that.

As I do not have a job I do my laundry Friday morning and then I will finish it on Saturday morning. Even if I did have a job I would still do my laundry in the morning on my day off of work.

Hello mobhomeir this is checkmail and often do sometimes try out my laundry at night, very few times.Well the laundry does also depends upon the level of water avail to me for use.Mostly in rainy season, when clothes gets dirty, use to laundry at night.Even is gone outdoors and arrive at evening or night first use to laundry the unwashed clothes.But msot of the time i do my laundry in day time, early int he morning when there is free flow of water avail, later its stopped. Happy Mylotting.

I ahve done my laundry at night before but it would still be best to do the laundry during daytime.
