How long can I let a load sit in the washer...

...before I have to wash it again?

And yes, this is a total clue to how incredibly lazy and unmotivated I am to do anything around the house.

    Maybe overnight? I don't let it sit, but if I did i'd probably do at least another rinse before drying it.

    Did you put bleach in the wash? That adds an hour or two...

    Eh, just smell it :-) ?If it smells moldy wash again, if it hasn't been in that long you can probably just throw it in the dryer.?

    This is my method. Except with diapers. If diapers sit, they get rewashed. ?

    I have left it over night. If it doesn't smell then I just put it in the dryer!

    About an hour before it starts to smell.  Surprise

     I do this way too often, I can go a day before it'll smell when dried.  It's my least favorite chore, but I only make it harder by not dealing with it right away.

    I know this isn't your question, but my preferred method of lazy laundry is to take clothes out of the dryer and place them on top...then throw the next load in the dryer. Then you can let everything stay forever. And who's kidding who - folding the clothes is the worst part! Big Smile
