Trish and I both do our own laundry–I would actually gladly do both, but her laundry is very complicated. Anything I do at home (as opposed to dress shirts & other things that need ironing, which I just take to the dry cleaner) has to be able to go through a full cold-water wash, and a full dryer cycle. Some of Trish’s clothes meet this requirement, but apparently there are lots of items that need special care at certain points in the cycle–I can’t grasp this, since for me laundry is very much “fire and forget”. (Theoretically we both do linen and Sarah’s laundry, but in practice it’s mostly Trish who does it because her dirty laundry pile threshold is much smaller than mine.)
