Work clothes , regular clothes, nice clothes , sheets, blanket, bath towels, dish towels , bath mats , dog sweaters , dog blankets etc every week. This is for two people and two dogs. What aren’t you washing ? Lol

2 people with 10 different loads? That’s one way to waste water I guess

We like our house and everything inside to be clean. We’re both in healthcare and aren’t interested in bringing the plague home with us.

This doesn’t seem absurd to me at all. Keep your bedding clean, people! I can easily do bedding 8 times per week between all the comforters, blankets, and sheets! That’s not even taking any other laundry into account. Household of 4. So yeah, I’m right here with you!

I've got 2 adults and 2 kids under 3. We do anywhere from 10-20 loads a week. Every one is as full as will still clean.

We've got 1 teen and 3 adults and 1 dog. Even when mom's not around, I have to wash just as much with my shitty washer. I'm hoping that I can do bigger loads that actually get clean when I get my Speed Queen. If I guess the load size wrong, I sometimes have to rewash again because it all smells like the worst item that was in the bunch!

Wow! We have two adults and two kids under 4 and I maybe do a max of 3-4 loads a week, and some weeks I skip all together! I don’t separate colors though

Fresh water is a limited resource. You not paying for it doesn't mean it's unlimited.

Not really. It's an expensive resource, but not at all limited in the sense fossil fuels are.

Desalination and filtration/distillation allow us to make unlimited clean water at the cost of energy.

Your washer should fill much past the load level.

Are those all separate loads? If so that’s kinda insane but you do you

"What arent you washing?"

Fair. I admit, bath mats, sheets, and dog stuff are not washed every week. I don't wear any nice clothes for them to need washing 😔 Perhaps for the other categories, I will do so when I finally get my TR3 (waiting on it to restock locally). Current GE washer is a little busted and also isn't guaranteed to get my dog's stuff actually clean. She's a chihuahua. She has little beds. You'd think the small stuff would be easy to wash when it's literally just 1-2 things at a time, but it's not 😩
