Does all the laundry have to be clean at all times?

1. You actually have to ask if you should stick one pair of dirty socks in the washing machine, are you real, is this a windup?

2. Well yeah, personally my clothes all get washed once a week – I’m not doing a daily load of washing just to wash the items of clothing worn that day

3. It’s a constant cycle. There is always about half a load sat waiting in the wash basket for more. Il never wash half a machiens worth just for the sake of having it done

4. You should only wash your cloths when you can fill your machine, except for special cases, this is the most cost, environmental, logically efficient.

5. >Or are you prepared to keep a small pile of dirty laundry until it’s bigger?

   doesn’t everyone do this? That’s what laundry bags /baskets are for

6. I only wash when I’ve got a full load to do – but sometimes if I’ve left it ages through laziness I’ll end up doing everything (multiple loads) in a day and be at what I like to call Laundry Zero aside from the clothes I’m wearing while doing it. Laundry Zero is a great place and gives a deep sense of satisfaction.

7. Full loads only, the exception is such as today when I’m doing a final load before I’m out of action for a couple of weeks so trying to ensure as little as possible remains

8. There’s a reason that laundry bins exist, they’re for storing dirty laundry until there’s enough to be washed.

9. I do separate washes for white, darks, colours, towels. I basically do a load when I have enough to make putting the machine on worth while.
