Do you have a laundry day, or do you just do it whenever? I throw laundry in every day, but Saturdays tend to be the days that I do the most folding...I'm bad about washing/drying the clothes but not folding them right away. Then by Wednesday, I have 6 baskets of folded clothes that we all put away.
How many loads do you do at a time? Usually 2-3 loads
Do you sort? Nope. I know some people will cringe, but I just grab clothes, dark, white, towels, and I wash it on cold and hope for the best. I would go off the deep end if I had to sort.
Are you particular about how it's washed, dried or folded? I do have a certain way things have to be folded. My towels have to be folded in a bifold, not a trifold. Otherwise they don't fit as nicely in my towel cabinet. I also like nice organized piles...Clara jeans, Jacob jeans, Isaiah pjs, etc. Makes putting it away much easier.
What kind of detergent? liquid? powder? Liquid cold water tide
Fabric softner liquid or dryer sheets? Dryer sheets

Do you have a laundry day, or do you just do it whenever? A few loads of "our" clothes mid-week, MB clothes on Saturday, towels every other day, besheets/blankets on the weekend.
How many loads do you do at a time? depends on the day
Do you sort? yes, lights and/or whites, darks, jeans, towels, sheets, blankets, I used to not sort, but I had the unfortunate experience of turning one of my favorite shirts blue from a pair of jeans that had been washed about 5 times.
Are you particular about how it's washed, dried or folded? All washing done in cold water(always has been), put in dryer always using a dryer sheet(we have horrible static cling) I have a few things that do not go into the dryer. Everything gets folded in specific ways, if it isn't done that way it won't fit and I have to redo it the right way. Plus it bugs me if its not folded right.
What kind of detergent? liquid? powder? Liquid All Free & Clear Oxi Active
Fabric softner liquid or dryer sheets? Bounce Free and & Sensitive Sheets, can't use liquid softners, something in them breaks me out.
How often do you do laundry? Excluding cloth diapers, probably 3ish loads a week
Do you have a laundry day, or do you just do it whenever? Whenever. DH usually does it when I'm at work. Often I will fold/put it away but sometimes he does that too.
How many loads do you do at a time? 2 usually.
Do you sort? lights, darks, towels, sheets, cold
Are you particular about how it's washed, dried or folded? I'm weird about how towels are folded. Otherwise I don't actually fold Camryn's because she throws clothes out of her drawers all the time. When she stops doing that, I will start folding her stuff again.
What kind of detergent? liquid? powder? Liquid tide usually for all except diapers.
Fabric softner liquid or dryer sheets? Dryer sheets occasionally. Don't always use them.

Do you have a laundry day, or do you just do it whenever? Um it use to be Sundays then it was Mondays now it is whenever I can convince DH to go
How many loads do you do at a time? Probably 3 or 4 normal size ones but at the laundromat we try to shove everything in the big machine.
Do you sort? Hahahaha no! Don't got time or patience for that
Are you particular about how it's washed, dried or folded? Don't care about washing or drying but I'm particular on how it is folded. I make stacks of everyone's clothes.
What kind of detergent? liquid? powder? Liquid whatever is cheap
Fabric softner liquid or dryer sheets? Hardly ever
How often do you do laundry? Diaper laundry is twice a week, never on Sundays. Family clothes are washed on Sundays! And I do 1-2 loads of cloth napkins, rags, etc a week (we don't use paper towels.

What kind of detergent? liquid? powder? We use Arm and Hammer free and clear for clothes and napkins/rags. Crunchy clean powder on the diapers.
Fabric softner liquid or dryer sheets? No! That stuff takes away the absorbency and is bad for DH's uniforms. I use vinegar in the softener dispense with our clothes, but nothing with the rest. We have dryer balls in the dryer. I honestly don't notice a difference other than there's no smell (which I prefer).

Towels & bedding hot, other stuff warm, certain items in loungerie bags, delicate if it's sweaters or bras with any kind of foam, always extra rinse. Don't mess with my laundry!
