My roommate has a lot of laundry

[darkswordsman17]

My roommate seems to have an excessive amount of laundry. He washes roughly 10 loads of laundry a week. I average 2 maybe 3 (and yes I put on fresh clothes each day). I'm not complaining, just thought it was odd.

Hmm, forgot a variable. Capacity of the washer. I'd say the ones in our apartment are about 3/4 of a typical home washer, and about 1/2 capacity of the commercial ones I've used. So its probably more like 7-8 in a regular washer.

Oh, and no, he does not wash his sheets each week, its just clothes and a bath towel or so. He admits he doesn't know how he has so much either.

So ATOT, how many loads ( ) do you do per week.

One.

How can he have a full load of laundry to wash every day? Does he wash his sheets everyday?

 

[Leros]

Is he so fat that one days worth of clothes fills up the entire washer?

 

[Baked]

1-2 loads once a week.

 

[clamum]

10 loads a week? Holy tittie fuck. I do about one (aka enough underwear or socks to last a week haha).

One a week unless I wash my robe or my sheets.

I think my wife does four or so each week.

Laundry including bath towels and etc? I probably wash 2 or 3 loads of clothing per week. Probably another one or two loads of bath towels - we have poor airflow in the bathroom so bath towels never air dry, so I use a different towel every day, so that amounts to an additional nontrivial amount of laundry to wash.

The average is in the 0-1 range.

Who's paying the utility bill?
How many times does he wash his hands?

How does he divide his loads?

 

[gorcorps]

Does he have just like 2 of everything and needs to constantly wash them to keep clean? My last roommate had enough clothes to not do laundry for a month, and not reuse anything. It was ridiculous.

I do 2-3 loads per week with a small apartment washer.

 

[nageov3t]

2-3 loads every other week (2 on average, bumps up to 3 when I wash sheets or linens)

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

3 loads every other week. Hell yeah. I have enough boxers to go for 3 weeks. I've done boxer/underwear/socks wash to increase my survivability only to end with a 4 load laundry at the end of like 3 weeks or something. I've done 5 loads max once where I had to do sheets, towels, and misc stuff.

 

[Brainonska511]

1 load a week (includes towels). My washer can easily fit an entire "pop-up" hamper of dirty clothes. I only do an extra load when I wash sheets.

 

[drinkmorejava]

2 every other week. Seems typical. There's always a run on the washer on Sundays with 7 guys in the house.

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

2 on a "normal" week. One load work work clothes and one for regular. That does not include sheets and stuff.

[BoomerD]

it all depends on the week, but my normal laundry for my wife & I:
1 load of white clothes
1-2 loads of colored clothes
1 load of jeans
1 load of sheets
1 load of mattress pad
1 load of bedspread
1 load of bath towels every 2 weeks
1 load of "no bleach" white t-shirts every 2 weeks.

I have a kid like that.. My wife washes his clothes and a lot of the make it back to the laundry without ever being worn. She'll stack the clean clothes on his bed, they'll get tossed into a pile on the floor, his dirty clothes eventually get tossed on them before half of them are even worn, and back to the laundry room everything goes.

 

[xanis]

Ten loads of laundry a week? Sweet Jebus that's a lot. I do one load of clothes per week, and a load of sheets + towels every 2-3 weeks.

 

[Gigantopithecus]

One for sheets, towels, & boxers. One for permanent press tshirts, blue jeans, & socks (I don't wear any white socks). One for button down shirts. So three per week.
