Duffy, sure doing small loads is not what I do at home but at home I have more than two towels for four people. Now do you get why I had to keep washing the towels?
I've been at work all day, I work until 8 pm EST, t
hat's why no response till now.
I AGREE TOTALLY. I've never had an issue with anything other than 32 loads of laundry. I still think it's excessive.
I never doubted you, I actually had to remind several other posters, reminding them that you had to do that.
I only questioned if this is the rule, or the exception. Apparently it's the rule.
Small loads!! That's the reason why so many!! Finally a valid explanation!! Did you know that if you wash a regular load, you will end up with more clean clothes at the end of the cycle??? If you only wash one or two towels, you'll get one or two clean ones when they're done. If you were to wash 6, you'd get six clean ones! How does washing only small loads get you more clean towels for the next day?? It takes just as long to wash a regular load as a small one-or am I imagining it?
Well, good for you, but I can't fit a king-size comforter-which is what the original poster said they had, not a spread-in my washer.
I worked at a ski resort in Pa. But that was a long time ago, over 15 years, more recently I've stayed at SeaMist resort in Mass., and at Mt. Snow in Vermont, just this summer. I'm going to call all three of them on Friday, and ask about this, just out of curiosity. We certainly had no such "requirement"! With all the towels at the place in Vermont, it would have been very difficult to wash them all, there were 3 bathrooms, and they had crazy-huge amounts of towels.
Thanks! I can finally sleep now, having concluded, in my non-professional opinion, that you are, well, I'll come right out and say it-obsessive about laundry. 10 loads of family laundry? 7 loads of bath towels? You DO wash towels after only one use.
Incidentally, my addition is fine. I said, in post #106, that I'd estimate washing all the bed linens would be 10 loads. That's about what you have here? (Loads 1-9, plus 22)
In addition, you washed loads of towels 12 times. Your family laundry-NOT INCLUDING ANY TOWELS OR BED LINENS-was 10 loads. That is a heck of lot of laundry your kids go through!
