How Big is the Average Load of Laundry Per Week? What You’re Really Washing.
The average load of laundry per week might be bigger than you think. Between daily outfits, towels, and bedding, a single person can generate up to 15–20 pounds of laundry weekly. Multiply that by your household size, and you’re easily managing 30 to 60 pounds or more, every week. Ever wonder how much laundry you do in a week? You might be surprised by the size—and cost—of your average load.
