| i put bedding and sheets on a 60 degree wash, but most other stuff goes on a 40degree, or if Cerys has smeared herself with food, they go on a 50degree x |

| Well i noticed slight stains werent budging so i switched back to boi as ive been using non bio since having tayla. But i just realised i bung all the washing in with out even looking what cycle its on...and its on colour fast at 30c So is the idea to wash whites at 60, and colours on 30-40?? I never know there was so much to it I used to do the fast wash in cyprus when i could hang stuff out and it dried in 10mins but over here it needs an extra spin or it will try forever to dry! |

| I put most of my stuff on 40, but if I am doing whites that are full of sheets and towels then I normally do 60 or 90.

| Izzys nappies 50
Izzys clothes, 30 or 50 depends how mucky they are - I don't separate them into colours and whites - and stuff doesn't run at 50
Our clothes, 30 or 50 also depends if mucky
Towels and bedding 60 - I do separate these to darks and lights though as at 60 the white will go grey |

| I do my every day bits that aren't too grubby on 30c, my whites so my towels and bedding I do on 60 and I do my whites on the odd 90 wash every now and then to brighten them up |
