What washing cycle and temp do you use?

[saor]

Quick wash, cold water.

This. Front loader, 30 mins, cold water 1000 rpm.

Once in a while a warm water empty wash with vinegar + bicarb to get any smells out.

Also gets the snail out of meemaw's bloomers.

Laundry doesn't need warm water, cold water is best for preserving your clothes. Also, use only a quarter cup of detergent for a full load, half if its really dirty.

15 minutes “Speed Perfect”, 30 degrees, 800rpm. Bosch Series 2.

Bio Classic comes with a small scoop. I use one of those and same small scoop of Astonish Oxy powder.

I am a bit dubious though about these 30 or even 15 minute washes replies.

Only ever use quick wash, 30 degrees. Never had any issues, all the other settings are pointless

 

[BuckRogers]

That's what I like about the Bosch I-dos. It figures out how much detergent it needs. You just fill the reservoir once in a while.

All clothes full wash - 1.5hr @ 60°C

Hot water supplied by either solar or gas geysers.

After wash, clothes straight into tumble dryer - set at cupboard dry.

Bedding and towels also @ 60° C

 

[Pegging]

Cold water 45 min.

Warm water can make colors run, shrink clothes and wrinkle them. It also wastes electricity.

What's this bs about cups and scoops of detergent? Why don't you okes get out of the 90's and use pods like normal people?

 

[pinball wizard]

Mostly 39 minute cycle. Sometimes 14 minute one if its just our cycling kit.

Cold only. Obviously.

Bio Classic does not come in pods or liquid. And it is more expensive. Bio Classic used to do a liquid a few years ago but discontinued it.

And it is more expensive.

That's like using single ply toilet paper to save a few Rand. Life's too short for that.

You're an odd little duck, aren't you.

 

[Hemi300c]

Recently switched to cold wash from 30deg

 

[FiestaST]

Pods & Cold Water.

I don’t overthink the small stuff.
