Default Re: Laundry: frugality vs hygiene

I do our laundry and my parents laundry...boy, what a difference...

For a week with my family (3 people):
1 towel per person, a couple of washrags, a pair or two of pjs...a week of undies and socks...and maybe 2-3 outfits...all hung on the line

for my parents (2 people):
10+ towels and washrags
14 shirts, pants, pr socks, t-shirts...
1 set of sheets...
etc....and she prefers all dried in dryer, unless hung indoors.

I believe in re-wearing/using unless its dirty/stained....

my mom believes if its worn, it gets washed.
