She's constantly getting food stains/pee/dirt on her clothes. For me and Dh maybe just undies and socks or stuff that's gross to pack dirty :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464380 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 11:25:58 +0000 PurplePeony 2464380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @youboots, I pack lighter and re-wear some outfits after washing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464367 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 11:19:09 +0000 youboots 2464367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pack 1/2 the clothes and wash mid trip if it's a week or more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464342 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 11:08:06 +0000 psw27 2464342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that we have a LO, yes - because he seems to go through clothes so fast. This usually open happens when I am with my parents or in laws. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464324 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 10:56:06 +0000 sleepybear 2464324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably wash all (or at least most) of my clothes just before we came home. I hate tackling the giant pile of laundry on top of unpacking right after vacation. Although I'd probably save a few of my tops to wash at home because I have a lot of more delicate clothes that I'm picky about how they get washed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464314 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 10:51:18 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2464314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do wash some if we are visiting family but I don't do laundry when I'm on an actual vacation! That defeats the purpose of the vacation for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464249 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 10:22:24 +0000 Alivoo01 2464249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if our clothes are really dirty or need to be dried anyhow, like if we visit the pool/ocean a lot so there's sand in everything. Or we visit the pool in the morning but fly out later that afternoon. I need the bathing suits to dry so might as well wash everything and let it be clean.</p> <p>Otherwise, I like to use our own washing/drying machine and detergent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464242 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 10:14:19 +0000 catomd00 2464242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll do sheets, towels and kid clothes before we leave the beach. Usually just save our clothes until we get back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464137 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 09:11:47 +0000 mrsrain 2464137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do enjoy taking clean clothes home and having one less chore when we get home! Especially now having children, returning home is stressful enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464136 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 09:10:53 +0000 regberadaisy 2464136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Even when we visit my family for the weekend it takes up a few days to catch up on everything. Doing some of the laundry before coming home is SUCH a huge help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464130 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 09:10:02 +0000 catlady 2464130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to but now that we have LO, we do. She still naps and goes to bed really early so we have alot of down time which makes it convenient to do a load or two, plus we get to cut down on how much we bring with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464125 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 09:07:05 +0000 snowjewelz 2464125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how long the trip is. If I can adequately pack everything I need for the whole trip then I won't bother doing laundry but if it's a longer trip, I probably will to avoid having to pack so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464064 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 08:39:00 +0000 Ree723 2464064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless we're visiting family, I never do laundry on holiday unless we have run out of something and don't have a choice. Anything baby related that has 'stuff' on it (food, pee/poo, spit up, vomit etc) gets washed in the sink with just handsoap and then properly washed when we get home, but other than that, nope. I'm perfectly happy to bring home a full suitcase of dirty laundry and sort it out later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464062 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 08:38:37 +0000 Mamaof2 2464062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! Friday night after the kids are in bed and we are packing up I wash everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464059 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 08:35:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2464059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends what kind of vacation, if its just a trip home to see my parents (aka we are just hanging out around the house) yes I will try to do a load before we go home. But if we are like at a condo and out and about doing things, no I dont stress about laundry until we get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464058 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 08:34:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2464058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually end up washing maybe one load mid week, now that we have a kid. Before that I really didn't at all. Call me crazy but I didn't want to bring home a dirty reusable swim diaper. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-washerdryer-on-vacation#post-2464053 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 08:32:20 +0000 cat620 2464053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are staying someplace that has a washer/dryer while on vacation, do you do laundry? I know some people that like to wash all their clothes while on vacation, so they go home with all clean clothes. I'm one of those that prefer to wait until I get home to do my laundry, since I don't like to do "chores" while on vacation. What do you do? </p>
