Washing is done as and when needed. This usually means two white washes, bed linen and towels washed at 60. At least one dark/coloured wash and one light coloured wash, both at 40 or 30 degrees depending on fabric. Occasionally also do a hand wash for very delicate fabrics such as Silk or Cashmere. I tend to use the maximum spin cycle for most, this is especially important in winter when clothes have to be dried indoors.
