This Is How Many Pounds Of Laundry We Do A Week

One of the most hated chores out there is laundry, and it’s understandable, because according to a new survey, folks are forced to do a lot of it.

A new Whirlpool survey finds:

The average American does 2,184 pounds of laundry a year.
Just how much laundry is that? Well, it’s the equivalent of the weight of an adult black rhinoceros.
And that number’s particularly high because of kids.
The survey notes that the average kid will go through three outfits a day.

And kids are certainly the reason parents feel like they are constantly cleaning.

72% of parents say their home can barely stay clean for more than a few minutes.
In fact, folks say their kids are so messy a room is only clutter free for about 17 minutes.
As for when kids are the messiest, the average parents say it is when their kids are seven.
On the positive side, they note that seven is the age kids are most likely to help clean up.
But when it comes to that laundry, good luck getting kids to help out.
The poll finds only 23% of kids are willing to help their parents with the laundry.
