Laundry refers to the washing, drying and/or folding of your clothing items and other textiles. Depending on your living situation, access to laundry machines, drive to your nearest dry cleaners, or financial status, the laundry process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours each week.

How often do people do laundry? Depending on how you fill your washing machine, the sort of clothes you wear and how fresh you like your clothes, the average person does laundry anywhere between one to three times a week. While this may not seem like a lot, it adds up to between 50 and 150 laundry loads every year.

How much does it cost to do an average load of laundry? Combining all of these factors, the average cost of a load of laundry is $1.27. At this cost, if you do one load per week, doing laundry costs $66.04 per year. If you do four loads per week, doing laundry costs $264.16 per year.

Fold Clothes Immediately: As soon as your clothes are dry, fold them right away to prevent wrinkles from forming. Leaving them in the dryer or on a hanger can also cause creases to form. Store Folded Clothes Properly: After folding your clothes, store them in drawers or on shelves.
