New Appliances at Work

Mr Sparkle- When staff wash bedding and towels we will use the appropriate cycle (ie-hot and long) but residents never take it upon themselves to wash their own bedding. It is only their own clothes they will wash so the argument about things not being sanitsied on a Fast wash won't hold much sway (believe me, i've been there and had the discussion before, lol)

Zodawash- You're completely right about the dryers, i couldn't believe after washing a load of tea towels and putting them in the dryer, of which wasn't half full, after setting it to 'Bone dry' the towels were still considerably damp when it had finished, sometimes you have that moment where you check the laundry and think "Is it damp or is it just me imagining it is?" but there was no question these still needed a good 30mins or so more. Perhaps the quality of the sensors in the dryers is to blame? All i know is that when i walk in the door after work and see my Miele pair staring back at me in the utility room it makes me grateful for what i have, lol.

Hoover dryer

I don"t wanna talk about your boss... everything is obvious. Maybe it would be cool if they bought Hoover washer and Hotpoint dryer, as Hoover washer would have rapid 29 on40 deg. which is better washing and rinsing than hotties FW30.. also there would be A59 wash upto 60 with max spin available

Hotpoint dryers are known for good drying, but their sensors aren"t fabulous too :/ I even used a Siemens sensor dry and sometimes on highest dry level, things were still abit damp.. Seems that time dry is the only 100% sure way So, why don"t you put Hoover on 60, or 75 minutes, instead of using sensor? try that

To be honest if you set the bone dry setting then technically the dryer should have just continued until it dryed them.

If it had finished because it thought the items were bone dry then that means there could be an issue with the sensor.

As its the sensor that decides the drying time and not the timer so it just continues until its dry even if the filter etc are dirty.

In regards to using the correct wash program i would explain to your boss the knowledge you have on these machines and the fact the machines will wear out as well as excessive consumption of electric due to having to work harder to dry the clothes because of such a slow spin speed.
