Hi everyone!
I've posted this in the modern washer thread as I think this is a bit recent.
In the past, there was a 60 degree synthetic wash (White Nylon, programme 3 in ITCL), but I think the programme was made redundant during the mid 90s as it stopped appearing on washing machines (e.g. Hotpoint, Zanussi). I presumed that it was because most synthetics would crease at high temperatures (even poly cottons) and synthetics were included in the 50 degree programme. However on more recent machines the 60 degree synthetic wash has made a comeback. We tend to use them to wash white cottons and synthetics, as it is quicker than the normal whites programme, but things tend to crease up a bit on these washes. Does anyone else regularly use this programme?
