So that works out to 2-3 loads *per person per week*. I am interested to
learn that this volume doesn't in your experience necessitate the use of a
dryer. However I remain intrigued by the decisions to escalate laundering
volume. A friend of mine wrote a book *Comfort, Cleanliness and Convenience*:
*The Social Organization of Normality* in which she explored--among other
fascinating topics--the sociology of laundry and laundering in the US and
the UK.
