Let's look back at the laundry today. There is more than just the daily clothes and linens we use. Set each item to a frequency that works for your household.
1) Wash bedding - I find I can wash the master bedroom sheets with my daughter's and then all the boys together. We don't have a dryer so weekly seems too much so I have it set to every two weeks. The comforter can be washed quarterly since it really should be dried at the laundromat.
2) Wash baby seat and swing covers - Most cloth covers even of car seats can be thrown into the washer every few months.
3) Curtains - This could be a task to do twice a year.
4) Slipcovers - anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months depending on how much traffic they see.
5) Stuffed animals - They really should be put through the dryer or in the freezer for 24 hours or so to kill any dust mites.
6) Bath mats - maybe every 2 months.
