Wash the clothes
Hi,
I often hear people say 'do the laundry', but never hear native speaker say 'wash the clothes'.
Can you tell me why?

I suppose that you are not hearing English speakers from all over the world; such choices are often regional or idiolectic. I myself say 'do the washing' as often as either of those.
