Vous n'avez pas à vous précipiter pour vider la machine à laver et remettre une lessive en route.

My comment:

The meaning of the phrase "turn around" in this context is similar to the one used in transport: to "turn around a plane" means to unload it and load it again for the next flight. (dictionnaire Hachette-Oxford français-anglais). "Remettre une lessive en route" est très souvent utilisé dans le langage courant
