Would you wash at 20?

[zanussi_lover]

I wouldn't

20 degrees is grose, 40 for colours and whites and 60 for Towels and Sheets.

I only use 30 for something that I have only worn once.

I use Gels for Colours and Powders for Whites/Sheets and Towels.

That's just how i do it. But, of course, 30° for some delicate stuff and wool.

washing in 20c/68F . . .

Nappies

Lots of them, big business these days given the non eco disposable variety...they do reccommend washing @ 60d.....

60d and 40d for me with an occasional 90d

Non-disposable nappies

Soak/prewash in tepid water and main wash in hot with oxygen bleach. Then into the dryer. No muss or fuss.

Another past blast !!

When I was a young Father of two back in the late 80,s we determined then it was cheaper to use the washer and dryer every other day than to buy disposable nappies, it also saved having to go down to the bins too often as we lived in a first floor flat, I believe it was washing those pesky critters that killed our beloved Servis Quartz...)
