So with electric prices as they are, what cycle do you guys use most? I used to use Mixed cycle @ 40 degrees for clothes. For towels, bathmats and dishcloths (one load) cotton cycle @ 95 degrees.

Now switched to Cotton Eco 30 degrees for clothes and Cotton @ 60 degrees for towels, bathmats and dishcloths (one load).

Cotton Eco takes quite a bit longer though than the Mixed load cycle.
 
Water level 5, cold wash.
We wash with filtered rainwater.
Water goes to grey water system which is used to irrigate my lawn.
 
30 degrees, 30 minutes, 400 revs per minute. It’s not about saving electricity. If your clothes get so dirty that you need to wash them for more than an hour, God is trying to tell you that you’re living life wrong.

1:01 cold economy wash.

Nee f@k. That is not even enough time for washing powder to dissolve? And 400 revs only? Clothes must take very long to dry? I do 1200 revs.
 
Since switching to the ecoegg a quick 30 minutes wash at 30 degrees.

EDIT: Haven't bought detergent in a year and still have two packets of pallets. Should last me two plus years still.

I only use a small amount of powder. Maybe one-and-a-half tablespoons.
