Sure! Wash day is whatever day it gets full.

@HamonWry No, but we do use the dishwasher as clean dishes storage. When it's empty, time to reload and run a cycle.

@HamonWry

i've been doing it for years and it is great

@HamonWry can't do it with a flatmate.
@HamonWry Gross=Nope, but it does sound unsanitary to have dirty clothes sitting in a metal drum for days with little ventilation.
@HamonWry This is something that I'd never thought of when the clothes washer was in the basement of the house, but in a condo where everything's on the same floor it feels obvious.
@HamonWry I might if the washer was on my bedroom level, but it’s two flights down, so…
@HamonWry I don't think the other tenants in the neighborhood would appreciate that. Plus, the laundry room is out in the yard so it would be quite inconvenient.

@HamonWry

Absolutely awesome idea if you want mold growing inside your clothes washer. Make sure you add extrascented detergent to cover the stench of mildew. /snark 🤦

@HamonWry There’s no need for a hamper if you wash often enough.
