Today is Laundry Day in much of New York City. Most apartments don’t have a washer/drier, so we have to schlep our clothes to a local laundromat or washing service. Since that requires a lot of effort, Laundry Day tends to be on Saturday or Sunday.
I finally moved to an apartment that has a washer/drier though, and life has been changed forever.
Now laundry day is whenever I want to toss something in the wash.
How about you: do you have a specific day of the week that you aim to do your laundry on?

I do it whenever I run out of clothes. Or I’m not working that night.
guest
normally once a week. I am lazy
guest
I hate putting laundry away so I put off doing it at all for really long amounts of time. About 2-4 weeks. I don’t have a specific day I do it but most often I do tend to do it on the weekend.
guest
If I had my own washer and dryer, I’d do it a lot more often. Since I don’t have my own though, it usually waits until we run out of clean clothes.

I usually do it once I ran out of clothes but I usually try to go during the week…especially if its raining because people are less willing to do clothes during that time so it’s pretty empty and not much of a crowd.
guest
I do it when I have free time, if there are enough clothes for a load. normally once or twice a week.
guest
I usually do it when I run out of pants or socks.
@Niamh Hickey@facebook - I love you just for using the word “fortnight”

This has nothing to do with the article– but what a great photo of the kid!
guest
And…I don’t know…when I’m out of clean clothes and the shirt I have on is on its third wear.
guest
Small or medium load every other day. I have an infant grandson I watch during the week, so that adds to the mix.
guest
I wash clothes a lot more than I fold them. I always wash the clothes if there is enough for a load but I hate folding them P: So I end up with baskets full of clean, unfolded clothes xD

guest
Almost every day.
guest
Every other week or so. Unless I want to wear something that’s already dirty. Then I just wash whatever dirty clothing there is.
@smile4leena@xanga - Me too! I just folded laundry for the first time in 3 months. My room looks a LOT better.
guest
@lonewolfette@xanga - haha, I used to always do that in college. Laundry day used to be commando day, if you catch my drift.
Now I usually do the laundry once a week or more if I can get a full loads in the washer.
guest
@endlezzthinking@xanga - Haha. Not to mention it’s so expensive to do laundry here! 5 bucks to wash and dry clothes, ugh
.
guest
@lonewolfette@xanga - Yeah, whenever I went to the laundromat most of my time and money went into drying the clothes.
guest
Currently living on campus, so laundry day is any day that isn’t busy (usually tuesday-thursday for me).
But I’m so lazy that I probably do it like once a month lol. Good thing I have enough clothes that will last me several months before I have to do laundry again hahah…
guest
Once or twice a week (I have three messy little boys
).
guest
i know i have to do it when i start running out of washcloths, underwear, socks, or just clothes in general, or when my hamper is overflowing. i usually do it about every two weeks.
guest
Weekly.
