Laundry temperature

I do all cleaning clothes, dishcloths, tea towels and towels at 60 degrees.

Everything else apart from wool and handwash at 40.

Sometimes on a quick wash but always with a colour run thingy but no conditioner.

I wash dishcloths - for sure. With towels and teatowels, at 50C. Throwing them away to go in landfill is just so wasteful and polluting. yuk.

Bedding at 50C- rest at 30C. Short wash when refresh only.

At first Pantglas I thought ‘dishcloths! Who washes dishcloths?’ I just throw them out and buy a pack of cheap new ones.

Then I realised you probably meant teatowels ....
?

White cotton sheets 90° with glo white thingy.

White towels 60°or 90°

Tea towels 60 or sometimes 90°

Everything else washed as per washing instruction labels.

So could be 30°, 40°, 60°
Or Hand-wash cycle.

Bedding and dishcloths (white cotton) on 90, towels on 60, coloureds on 30.

I never use any cycle but the quick one - I just add in a fast spin. Everything done at 40, including towels.

I'm with Buffybee - DH disagrees but then I like my whites white not grey!!!

Towels on 60 detergent and vinegar. DH pants and shirts on 60 with vanish, (he perspires!) detergent and fabric softener.

Everything else on 40. Any stains I add vanish.

Towels and bedding at 60, clothes mostly at 40 and some times 30.
I also use quick washes 14 and 30 mins when clothes not really dirty.

I do towels at 60 degrees but a 30 degree wash is best for most things as a lot of stains get 'cooked in' at a higher temperature. Most mpodern detergents work best at 30 degrees. I occasionally do a 90 degree wash (again, with towels) as it kills germs in the machine.
I get blood out with a cold soak first, then a biological wash at 30 degrees.
