I used to do the “Monday Madness” meme a while ago and have just been focusing on posting my menu on Mondays lately, playing along to “Menu Plan Monday”. Today, I thought I’d be wild and crazy and do BOTH!

Good Monday to you all! This week’s questions are all about laundry; something we all have to do (or have done). Have a great week and thank you so much for playing! =)
1. Do you do your own laundry or do you send it out? Oh good gravy yes, I do all of our laundry!
2. Do you laundry at your home or a laundromat? At home, always have. I’ve been very blessed to have always had my own washer and dryer in my apartment or house. I’ve never actually even been to a laundromat 🙂 (I used the washers in the dorm in college and never had to go out of my dorm)
3. Are there certain articles of clothing that you need to have dry-cleaned on a regular basis? Not really, just Tim’s suits and a few of my dresses (most of which we don’t wear too often). I try not to buy a lot of clothes that have to be dry-cleaned
4. How often do you do laundry? Is there a certain day of the week that you consider “laundry day?” I do laundry almost every day, at least 1 or 2 loads. I do towels on Tuesdays, sheets on Wednesdays and usually on Mondays and either Thursdays or Fridays, I do dark clothes and whites. I probably only take 1 or maybe 2 days off during the week when I don’t wash something. I find it is easier that way for me, not to let it pile up. Thankfully, there’s only 2 of us plus the dog. If we were the Brady Bunch, I imagine I’d be doing 5 loads a day 🙂
5. Do you iron your clothes as you pull them out of the dryer or do you wait until just before you wear the clothing to iron? I pull the clothes out of the dryer and hang them up. Some of them while they are still damp, and the rest when they are dry. I iron before we wear them, if they need ironing.
6. Do you hang your clothes outside to dry or do you dry them in a dryer? I will hang a few things out to dry, some of the dogs stuff, and some of our clothes or Tim’s hunting clothes or bath mats, things like that. I don’t have a clothesline, so I use my deck railing 🙂
7. Do you own things that need to be hand-washed or do you try to avoid buying things that you can’t wash in the washing machine? I generally try to avoid it, but I do have a few things of mine that need to be hand-washed. Delicate little sweaters or blouses and I think one skirt. Missed that label in the store 🙁

Cute meme! I may have to try this one some time! :o)
Well that was interesting! I’m glad you did it!
You’re so lucky to have never had to use a laundromat. We had to use one when we lived in NY and I absolutely hated it. It was scary, and our clothes never came clean…and they came out with other people’s hairs on them. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!
I pretty much do everything like you, except I just do whatever laundry is around everyday, instead of a schedule like you.
I am just dreaming that I send mine out. Now I am waking up and going to get a load out of the dryer! 🙂
I miss having my own washer & dryer. =(
I guess it’s strange, but I don’t mind doing laundry. I fold it and put it away as soon as it’s out of the dryer. I wish I could hang clothes outside again. At our old house, I had clothespoles in the back and hung out everything except towels. I just love the smell of clothes and sheets that were out in the sun. It’s in our neighborhood covenants that we can’t have clothespoles. I’m really tempted to get one of those umbrella types and then take it down when I’m finished. But there are some really snippy people down the street from me who would be able to see the pole in my yard from their yard – they’d probably call the Home Owner Association police on me!
I haven’t joined MM for several months now but I’m back. Laundry is not exactly my cup of tea but it’s fun to be back.
I’ve never seen the Monday Madness Meme before. I love it! I hate doing laundry though- especially the folding and putting away part.
