Poll question: Arrrrgh! I hate doing laundry! |
|
Who's with me? I have a humongous wardobe that it takes me forever to get through it all in doing laundry. It's gotten so that I have a huge pile of clothes that I do laundry every three weeks. I figure that I really don't need to wash my clothes once a week if I have lots of clean underwear and clothes on hand. Who here does their laundry once a month like me?

5. It's weird -- when I lived in the apartment, and the washing machine |
|
was maybe 50 steps down the hall, I did it once every few weeks, tops.
Now that I live in a house, and the washing machine is maybe 50 steps from the second floor to the basement, I do a few loads a week.
Maybe it's the coins, and that nobody's going to dump my clothes on the floor if I don't remove them from the machines promptly.
I do go to the laundromat very, very rarely, to wash bedspreads and other oversized items.

7. Once a week is not obsesive |
|
Hell, both my wife and I only have about a weeks worth of clothes. We live in a really small house and don't have room for more.
We rarely buy new clothes and when we do our old stuff is turned into rags, or goodwill if we don't think they would throw it out.
Besides, with a 70 hour work week, it's hard to get more than a 3 hour bloock of time to do laundry.

10. I Take My Laundry To A Fluff And Fold |
|
When I first moved away from home, lived in an apartment, and worked full time, the one thing I most hated having to do was the laundry, which I did once or twice every week for 10 years. It was something I dreaded and hated having to do, especially being single and working full time.
After 10 years I finally discovered fluff and fold; I could pay somebody, usually $20-25, to have them do my laundry for me. I have taken my laundry in to have it done usually once a week for many years; it has been a long time since I have done my own laundry.
Right now with my money and job situation (working off-and-on part-time for almost 6 years now) I may have to start doing my own laundry again:-( ; it is one thing I dread having to do. Having somebody do my laundry is one of the last things I want to have to give up.

12. What's the big deal? It's much better than most household chores. |
|
Just put the dirty laundry in the transporter (laundry chute). Then, every once in a while, go down to the basement and stick it into the washer, pop in detergent, turn the machine on. Later, put it into the dryer and turn that on.
Oh, OK, that DOES mean having to empty the dryer before more can go in, and that is involved: match socks, pull out all the paper that got washed in pockets, fold some things before balling them up and tossing them into the basket, and coax the lint off of the filter. Then the worst job is carrying it back upstairs -- I need a reverse-transporter: a laundry chute that will take the stuff back up. And then if I don't get away with just using all the stuff from the basket for the next week, I have to put the rest of the stuff away in closets, drawers, or on top of convenient flat surfaces.
Still, it's better than cutting the grass.

at the local laudromat - it's not much more expensive than doing it yourself (no washer/dryer in apt) and I HATE doing laundry.
Best thing since sliced bread if you ask me.
