In my Dyson

Coloreds - cottons 40oc, 1400 A class spin, dirt & stains with extra rinse.

whites, towels and bedding - cottons 50oc or 60oc, 1400 A class spin, dirt & stains with extra rinse.

Denim, hoodies, shirts etc - synthetics 40oc, 1100 spin, dirt & stains with extra rinse.

Occasional wool wash at 40oc with 800 spin.

Duvets - Duvet program 60oc or 40oc, 800 spin with extra rinse.

I always use extra rinse to get three rinses, for my sensitive skin, however recently I haven't been selecting extra rinse on any of the cycles, and no problems

my samsung top loader has a memory function where i can make my own program. i use that most of the time. 30 min wash, 1 rinse as i dint use fabric softener, and 6 min spin. i use cold water and the new zealnd Xpert washing powder. when i have a full denim load i either use fuzzy or blanket. and when i have the day befores clothes i use the eco+ cycle. bedding gets done on blanket but with a warm wash. same for towels. i do the whites in my LG turbo drum on the jean cycle with warm water and Skip perfect white washing powder. set it to soak, wash, rinse, spin

In my Miele

 

Cottons 120f  default quick cycle with added options of cold pre-wash(heated to warm before wash starts), water+ extra rinse for white underwear and sock loads 

Cottons 190f Extended option(European time length), water+ extra rinse for  heavily soil white load

 

Cottons 105f default quick cycle for most light and bright colors and sheets except dark black or blue

Cottons 65f default quick cycle for dark cottons

 

Perma Press 65f for dark cotton dress slacks

Dress shirts 105f for dress and casual shirts

 

Jeans 105f for jeans

Delicates 105f for fleece sweat shirts and pants

Delicates 85f for Lycra gym clothes

 

Silk -  tap cold for one or two items once in a while.

 

Spin speeds:  I use High for most cotton loads, Max for white underwear and socks, medium for Perma press and delicates, medium for jeans.  One thing about the speeds is that even though you may select high for jeans or perma press you will only get the last 30 seconds at the high speed.  The spin speeds before that will be a combination of burst spins, and low or  medium speeds until the last 30 seconds. There are no interim spins in Jeans and delicates programs.
