I do all of our laundry. If DH does it and puts it away, he never puts things in the right place. Like I will find jeans in my underwear drawer and tank tops in my jeans drawer. If you want something done right, do it yourself, right?
We usually do laundry together. Then we each fold our own. Sometimes MH will lay out my clothes for me, and sometimes I fold his. Lately I've been the slacker leaving my clothes a wrinkled mess.
When I manage to fold/hang clothes, I put away his and mine. Sometimes, however, the clothes sit in the dryer for a week. You just have to give them a quick spin each morning before getting dressed....

I'm anal about how things are folded. I've tried letting FI fold his own clothes (I leave them in a pile for him. It's just easier for me to wash everything all at once, we have one hamper in our room, and hamper for my daughter, but I still do everything together), but even though his go on shelves in the closet, and I don't see them after they get washed, it bugs the heck out of me so I just wash and fold everything, and he can put his stuff away.
DH probably does more laundry than I do right now. But when I stay home I'll do it 95% of the time. I don't mind folding and putting away things, I just hate rotating it.
Sometimes I put his away, sometimes I ask him to put them away.
He has learned though if he doesn't put his dirty clothes in the hamper, I don't wash them. I'm not going to pick them up off the floor, he's a big boy and can put them in the dirty clothes. He learned after a few weeks of me not washing all the clothes on the floor that he needed to step up.
When we were first married, we sort of traded off on chores and that worked ok. But, DH confessed one day that I dried his t-shirts to Barbie size and he had nothing left to wear. So, we renegotiated our "contract" and now I cook/do dishes and he does/puts up laundry.
I'm the one that lets it stack up on my dresser for a month until I finally put it away.

Same here.
Mine does too. I feel a little guilty...

I wash his and dry them/ hang them up to try.
