Of course this is affected by your laundry facilities. If you have an in-home washer dryer, then you need to keep up and laundry is not that much of an interruption. But if you are like me, with a laundry room in another building, then it's more efficient to save up the laundry and do multiple loads at once.
I have traveled for up to a month with a total of 2 basic outfits with a spare set of underclothes. Everything I was wearing was easily hand washed and would dry overnight or come very close to it. Interesting way to travel, but also quite liberating compared to the usual suit bag, suit case and brief case load.
