Time for a trip to the laundromat

WASHDAY

["Think of the traditional day when households would gather to clean clothes before modern machines—it’s not just any day, but one named for the task itself."]

"Washday" is the answer because it’s the traditional term for the day set aside for doing laundry, making it the perfect time for a trip to the laundromat. The clue plays on the literal meaning—when you’d gather clothes to wash—while keeping it straightforward without hidden wordplay. It’s a nod to older household routines, though the idea still fits modern chores. Think of it as the day your basket’s full and the machines are calling.
