Just wondered what temps and cycles you do ur washing on? Or what cycles/temps for what colours.....i think ive only just realised why my whites dont stay so white

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

i put everything on a quick 30 degree wash. last about 30 mins. and my whites stay white, even the kids stuff x

Mine dont either terri, and i ust dont know what to do, i wash them on 60 and try and out a whitener sachet thingy in but nope....... still grey!

i shall be watching this thread intentley!

all mine gets done at 40oc and my whites are white but towles and bedding gets a good old 90oc boil i loved boiled sheets - oh my god am i 26 or 66

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.

Lol suzie!! 90c i never realised they went up to that temp i always feel guilty and think of the save the planet stuff lol!!!

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

Aw thanks ladies, your all like my mum/sisters lol!
Ill will try and 90c wash then to brighten them up maybe a daft question (yes another one ) but doesnt the 90c wash shrink clothes or is that just the tumble dryer?

90 degrees might shrink you cotton stuff so beware. i would just go with a 50degree for whites x

Ok thank you

i do 40 on all my washing and i cant seem to get stains out well especially on whites so next white lot im goona try 50 after this post

bleach load - socks, gonch, anything that needs to be disinfected...I wash in hot water. Darks - always on cold..and lights-warm.

sometimes washing on 60 doesnt shift all the stains either!

Jen.....Gonch???? do you mean skiddy pants??
