Track load volume first
A week of observation gives a better starting point than assuming a fixed number of loads.
Separate urgent from flexible loads
Work clothing, school items or essential linens can have different timing needs.
Avoid creating a bottleneck
Scheduling all washing without time for drying, folding and putting away simply moves the backlog.
Adjust seasonally
Sports, weather, travel and household size can change laundry volume.
