Going to the Laundromat on a frequent basis is a real nuisance. Before starting out as a fulltimer, I accumulated over 30 sets of underwear and socks. I also have a large number of T shirts. My wife and I usually hit the Laundromat every 3-4 weeks. In a pinch, I might have to rinse out a few items but can push it to 5-6 weeks. At that point we also have a couple of sets of bedsheets and towels. Every other trip we also launder the dinette cushion covers and the cat bed. It does not seem to matter how much we have it always takes about 2 1/2 hours. Costs are usually about $20 for the whole pile. Big deal.
