(specific to in-unit, I’m sorry babes) throw a load in at 7-8pm, you’ll make dinner, watch something, it’s real easy. This has helped me make laundry a more “as you go” kinda thing rather than my usual “all my clothes are gone, my hamper is a mountain, I’ve lost my guide, and i only have 10 sips of water left” situation
and not doing wash n’ fold. (In the case that both are in your price range!) It’s such a therapeutic hands-on task, only takes about an hour, and is good people watching.
it’s very much just me time get to put on the show i’m watching and just go through the pile and fold all the clothes then run through the house putting them away i just love it
i wash my clothes (i don’t separate anything so this includes towels too lol) every friday morning but that’s just because that‘s when i run out of clean underwear. bedding i wash every other week!
