Got a question that I am curious about. How often do you do laundry?
I have read, from numerous sources - some on SS, others otherwhere on the internet (blogs etc) - particularly in connection with making one's own laundry soap - that the people writing seem to go through laundry soap a whole lot quicker than I do
Today, for example, I read on someone's blog that she bought laundry soap (didn't say how big a container) when she was out of the homemade, and it only lasted a week! I also don't know how large her family is, but I believe there may be a couple of children. I have a hard time grasping that, even if the bottle were small and the family large - only one week?
So, how often do you run the machine? We are a family of 2 adults, and I will do 4 to 5 loads every 2 to 3 weeks - usually over the coarse of 2-3 days, as my laundry line can't hold more than 1-2 loads a time. I want to figure out if , in relation to others, I either 1) have way to many clothes/towels/sheets, or 2) have an unusually high tolerance for wearing/using things a little longer before tossing in the laundry basket, or 3) don't use as much soap per load.
I don't feel that we two are particularly grungy, but perhaps my perception is off.
(I understand that families with children will probably have a much higher usage than I do)
