I have 7 children and I was in rooms so each room has a basket once a week I strip that room (3 to a room and baby with us) I was clothes and sheets at once. When dry re make and fold clothes I do this over the 3 days once a fortnight. Towels get washed weekly. While sheets are washing/ drying doonas are airing and so are mattress ( I leave mattress bare windows open. I live in a high set so doonas go over the balcony. Kids help where they can and my ages are 4 to 13
