how often do you do laundry?

we try to do it once every other week. id like to do it more often, but i dont have the time to go to the laundromat every few days. the good thing about the laundromat is that no matter how many loads we have, we can always get laundry done in under 2.5 hours. and i can use that time for painting my nails.

whats in a typical wash load?

a typical load? well, in a typical trip to the laundromat, we have a load each of whites, jeans (sometimes 2 loads), colords/cottons, delicates, towels, and sheets.

front or top loader? powder or liquid detergent?

the front loaders are doubles and they hold more stuff - the better value. you know. the top loader is cheaper, but doesnt hold as much. so we use that for the delicates and sometimes the whites. and powder detergent is cheaper - especially when we buy a 5 gallon bucket of it at sams.

do you use fabric softener in the rinse cycle?

unless i forget it at home, or have forgotten to buy more, i do. its nice because i can put it in the machines at the laundromat at the same time as the detergent. but the delicates, in the top loader, i often forget to add the softener. bah.

dryer or clothesline?

maybe if we had a nice yard that i could hang a clothesline, i would use it. in fact, i most likely would. its much cheaper. right now b has a few pair of jeans that dont get dried in the drier, and i have a few delicates that dont. we hang them in the bathroom over the curtain rod, towel racks, and door handles for the night.
