44 The clothes pile up in the laundry basket at home. At some point, they need to be taken care of. Yes, it can be a tedious task, but it would not be cool to wear the same soiled and stinky clothes again. But even doing the laundry requires decisions to be made. How should the clothes be washed? Who washes them? What products should be used? As well, what brands work best? After all, an investment was made into purchasing the clothes, and we want to make every rupiah count by having our clothes last a long time. Since it is generally women who handle housework, we surveyed moms to ask them about their laundry practices. This survey was followed by 346 respondents. First, we asked how the family’s laundry is usually washed. Almost three-quarters of our respondents (74.28%) said that they use a laundry machine while 21.68% reported washing by hand. A small number reported sending their laundry off or using a different option. Most people (78.61%) do the laundry themselves. The rest (21.39%) have a helper to take care of it. If we look at a breakdown based on spending level per month, we find out that who takes care of the laundry can be correlated to spending level. The greater the spending level, the likelier it is that the helper does the laundry. For comparison, 2.56% of our respondents with a household spending level of less than $100 per month have a helper whereas that number is at 62.50% for with a spending level exceeding $750 per month. Even jumping into the second spending bracket of $101-$200 represents a remarkable difference – from 2.56% to 15.45% of respondents within the respective bracket.

Nearly half of our respondents (45.09%) reported using Rinso, 22.83% use Attack and 15.32% Daia. There are many different brands of detergents so it is not surprising that 15.9% reported using another brand. But it is not enough to just use detergents. Doing the laundry also requires using a laundry fragrance and softener. Almost an equal number of respondents reported using Downy (42.2%) and Molto (40.46%) for laundry fragrance and softener. Only 14.74% use Softener Soklin. It is something that needs to be looked in further, but initial numbers suggest that Downy is more popular among our younger age brackets (20-25, 26-29, and 30-35), but there is a shift in preference for Molto for the older brackets (36-39, 40-45, >45).
