We are a family of 5. I don't really have a process to do my washing. I only sort things into sheets, towels, clothes and whites. I wash one load a day usually, occasionally two, sometimes I can get away with none. My problem is folding it though. I try to fold it straight off the line, but I am often in a bit of a hurry and don't, so it all goes into the spare room, where, right now, I could lose a child the pile to fold in so huge.
