Because my apartment doesn't have a washer and dryer 1, I go once a week to a laundromat down the street. Throughout the week, I throw my dirty clothes in a clothes hamper 2 in my room, and then haul that down to the laundromat. Because the place has coin-operated machines, I have to make sure I have plenty of change. I separate the whites from the darks and wash them in separate machines---unless I want pink dress shirts. This happened when I accidently washed my dress shirts with my sister's pink shirts. Not a good idea at all. I add the right amount of laundry detergent 3 and bleach 4 as needed, with a little fabric 5 softener 6. After the wash is finished, I put the clothes in a dryer. While the washer and dryer are going, I usually read a book or magazine to pass the time. When the clothes are done drying, I fold them---usually---and then take the finished laundry home. Finally, I put my clothes away in my dresser or closet. Washing and drying clothes isn't the most exciting chore, but it has to be done.
