Two a day? What on earth are they doing to require that much washing?
- lb1lf 10y agoThe oldest kid does track&field and soccer practice after school every day. Also, he swims once a week. The two-year old runs around outdoors in kindergarten all day. More often than not, it is rainy and muddy. The youngest still run through a couple of sets of babywear a day, down to a somewhat lackadaisical approach to her excretion of various bodily fluids. We all swim weekly. Add to that the occasional nightly mishap by the child currently quitting diapers, and you're looking at lots and lots of laundry cycles. Good thing water is free (It's not that we haven't got plenty of it to go around!) and power is cheap.
- craigds 10y agoI have one 18month old kid. We average about 1.3 loads a day. Several sets of clothes, towels, nappies, sheets, bibs, ... It adds up very quickly
- Angostura 10y agoIf you have three kids and one of them is a baby in washable nappies this is quite possible. You don't want the soiled diapers in with other items
- BJanecke 10y agoI'm going to assume it's got to do with the multiple layers of clothing they no doubt have to wear in that climate.
- Thlom 10y agoInner layer is always wool, which really doesn't have to be washed that much unless it's stained, but not everyone knows this so most still wash wool as much as cotton. Wool is very breathable, so just hang it out and it's as good as washed with less wear.
- guyzero 10y agoMiele machines are small compared to most washing machines for the US market. I had an imported AEG and when I replaced it with a LG frontloader it seemed impossible how big the drum was. I used to only be able to wash 3-4 pairs of jeans at a time and now it's like 8-10.
