Nowadays the people that provides the washing services charge highly. So it's very advisable to do it yourself so that you can save some money for the future use.

By doing our own laundry we are utilizing our time and it does not take so much time or effort if you have a washing machine else you can wash with hands and save money

I know that I have time constraints but I would still try to be doing my laundry by myself. It's time to wash clothes that make so many people not to do it but pay.

I don't have a washing machine. I use my hands to wash. I just create time early Saturday mornings to wash all dirty clothes. People spend so much to wash their clothed but not me.

If I need to patronise a laundry person, it is only when we don't have electricity supply for me to iron. And it's just for ironing which is cheaper than washing and ironing.

Same here, I only give my cloth out when we do not have power supply.

If you have money and feel you can earn more in the time you'll be doing laundry then it's fine to hire someone to laundry

But laundry doesn't take more time 2 hours max. And paying for it won't cost anything less than $5. If you can earn $5 in two hours, then a dry cleaner would be in line.

Maybe my childhood was weird. We never sent the laundry out. That was unimaginable. It was always one of the household chores.

My mom figured out a way to make it very easy for her.

I grew up with 4 brothers and both parents. Mom taught each of us to do the various household chores at the earliest age possible. We had to do the household chores to earn our weekly allowance. We even had to do our own sewing on buttons and repairing torn clothing. I was taught how to do laundry by the time I was 6 years old. That included sorting, running the washer and dryer, ironing as needed, folding and putting away everything for all members of the home. All mom had to do, along with everyone else, was to toss the laundry down the laundry chute and I had to take it from there.

We all had to take turns with everything else as well; trash, dusting, vacuuming, mowing the lawn, etc. I was even cooking family meals by the time I was 12. Growing up, I always thought mom was just being lazy. However, looking back, she had to take a lot of time teaching each one of us how to do this stuff and now I'm glad she did. We all know how to do all the household chores and could easily get everything done in our own homes as we moved out on our own. Thanks mom.

Now we have all passed it on to the next generation. They too earn their allowances by doing household chores. They will be much better prepared when they go off on their own.

So make it easy on yourself. Don't send out the laundry and fire the maid. Teach your kids how to do every chore and let them earn their weekly allowance. It will also teach them a bit about the value of money at a very early age.

It is a healthy habit to do your laundry yourself and too much dependence on workers and machines not helping our cause
