Is it delicates, whites, colors, bedding, towels, jeans?

My loads are as follows and each gets done once a week

DD1's clothes and towels
DD2's clothes and towels
Girls Bedding
DH's and I's darks
DH's and I's whites
Dh's and I's jeans and towels
DH's and I's bedding
Cloth Napkins and Cleaning Clothes

I don't really have a strategy...I try to do it as it accumulates, so that usually comes down to about 1 load per day for me (except for the day I change all the sheets, then I do all the bedding the same day in about 3 loads). So I just go around in the morning and see what I've got...do I have enough for a 'blue' load? If yes, then I go ahead and run it through.

I do non-linen laundry based on color and fabric...

bedding, towels and washcloths, whites and pastels, brights and darks

I do a load of whites and a load of everything else. As far as strategy goes, ours goes into two baskets so it's already sorted, I just have to sort M's. Saves me some time.

I have one of those 3 bin laundry sorter w/ wheels and we keep it in our closet (my MIL keeps hers in her laundry room, so that's an option too). I sort clothes: whites/towels (use bleach) / lights (lots of khaki pants here!) / darks / dark work clothes / sheets. The kids clothing goes in with the adult's here but I seperate DH's work clothes bc. he's in construction and they can be pretty dirty. I generally do a load every day - wash before work and dry either before or after. Then on the weekend, I do sheets and catch up with an extra load or two plus ironing. I don't assign a particular color a day, like whites on Mondays, rather just do as needed. I found that with 2 kids, I really need to do one load a day or I get way behind.

whites and lights together, darks and brights together, everything washed in cold water, wash as much as possible at a time

I HATE laundry!

So I take a deep breath and get it done
