My washer's "silent" programme.
My L.G. T.L. has a very similar programme to that it is called the "silent" programme, basically it is a much longer cycle(at max about 120 mins for a full load.)which starts off with a few minutes of normal agitation/pulsation and then agitates/pulsates at a much slower speed for quite a while and has a much slower spin than the standard programmes.
It is actually my favourite programme to use for all sorts of loads, whites, colours and underwear as the clothes are getting a nice, long, slow gentle wash and it really seems to clean them better too and one gets considerably less linting.
The purpose is of course to wash while you are asleep at night and then hang the load out the next morning, the only drawback is the slower spin means the load is still quite damp when hung out, but that does not really bother me too much, I find the positives outweigh the negatives.
Cheers.
Steve.
