How long do y'all spend on laundry

On days when I do my laundry I feel like it occupies at least 3-4 hours of my day and with so many deals and acquisitions closing in at the office right now it is really getting distracting. Anyone else experience this same problem or am I in the minority here. Any tips to expedite the process will also be appreciated!

I don’t think you’re in the minority at all — I’ve had the same issue where laundry ends up taking half a day and throws off my whole schedule, especially during busy work weeks with deals closing.

What helped me was either splitting loads across the week or using a laundry service london so I don’t lose 3–4 hours at once. Once you’re in a high-pressure routine, even small time savings make a big difference.

If you streamline it or outsource part of it, it becomes way more manageable.

Do you guys not have in-home laundry? 

Clothes wash in an hour or two and dry in an hour or two. 

Don’t wait until everything you own is dirty and it won’t take half your Sunday…but even if it does, it’s not exactly an active process.

My unit/building doesn't have laundry since I live in a walk-up. I pay around $80 a month to get my clothes washed/folded at a place around the corner. Super helpful and saves lots of time.

I do a whites and a coloured wash. And very occasionally I wash my wools/delicates. To set this up is literally 3 mins. Dry cleans I get picked up and delivered so basically 0 time on that.

To hang these up takes like 10 mins.

To put the stuff away another 10 mins?

This is like 1 hour of total work. Tbh I iron as I need stuff, my iron is always set up.

What are you doing taking 3-4 hours?
