The number of loads of laundry an average person does per week can vary based on individual circumstances, such as family size, lifestyle, and personal preferences. However, I can provide you with a general estimate based on common practices:
On average, a single person might do around 3 to 5 loads of laundry per week. For a small family of two or three people, the number of loads might be around 5 to 7 per week. Larger families may need to do more loads, possibly ranging from 8 to 12 per week.
As for the use of dryer sheets, it depends on personal habits and preferences. Some people use dryer sheets with every load of laundry they dry, while others might use them less frequently or not at all. If we consider the average person's laundry habits, it's common for them to use dryer sheets in most, if not all, of their loads.
Keep in mind that these numbers are general estimates, and individual laundry habits can vary widely. Some people may prefer air-drying their clothes, which would reduce the number of loads they put in the dryer, while others may rely on dryers for most of their laundry, especially during cold or rainy seasons. Additionally, people with access to laundry facilities within their homes might do laundry more frequently than those who need to use a laundromat.
