It was one of my biggest problems when I started out. How do you do yours? Or are the therapists responsible for their own? I had a refrigerator for them to keep their food in and washer and dryer in the 2nd Center.
I remember it well. lol Glad I don't have to fight that battle any more.

I lug them home every night and wash them. I went out and bought a ton of sheets so I really don't have to wash them every night but I do so anyway out of habit, plus I don't want the oils/lotions to stain the sheets or turn smelly :-). Luckily I just bought a new high efficiency washing machine (with steam and sanitizing function) a few months ago so my sheets are kept in great shape plus my water bill hasn't increased by much.
I have a son who always asked for a weekly allowance, like they all do. So I told him he would need to work for it-so he does one load of laundry everyday after school and folds. I gather since I am providing the washer/drier/detergent/water, I would pay him $4 per load (usually 5 sets + face cradles etc). He makes $25-30 per week. My laundry is always done, keeps him busy after school and he now is very hard on his money. It is a win/win situation for me for now until my practice grows bigger.
