If you were to wash ALL your clothing, how many washer-loads might it take?

I’ve just come home from an hour at the laundromat, and in the middle of the fold-and-hang process. I’ve got to say, I’m always amazed at the sheer volume of clothing I’ve accumulated.

Thing is, I’m constantly donating what I don’t want/wear anymore to charity. I buy almost 100% of my clothing used, so it’s not a money issue I’m thinking of. It’s just the volume of clothing that can be a nuisance (closet space, laundry duties, and, because I’m not always great about putting it away, the folded piles and dirty piles).

So, I ask the flutherverse: how much clothing do you have? Do you ever feel it’s too much? And what is your purging process?
