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.
