    There are five people in my house. Each generates one full load of laundry every week or so. That’s two sets of PJs, four pairs of pants, seven tops, seven pairs each of underwear and socks, and a bath towel.

    Add in bed linens, kitchen towels, and throw rugs, and 6-7 loads a week is not excessive. I don’t do laundry every day; I prefer to do a few loads at a time twice a week. But with a high-efficiency washer it’s not even that much water, and they are all full loads so it’s not “wasted” anyway.

        I can’t tell if this comment is serious or not because there’s a mix of stuff in it, but I’ve gotta ask: only 3 underwear??

        I’ve been there, I get it, but yeah, I’m not that broke anymore. My kids need clean uniforms for school and I need a clean uniform for work.

        Beds once a week. Towels use at least two in a week per person.
