My washing machine has a quick programme that takes 50 minutes at 60 degrees. The 20 degree wash takes 2 hours and 50 minutes. Which one is the most cost effective and which one is the more environmentally friendly?
My quick wash is 60 minutes with a choice of temperatures from 50c down to 20c. I always use this as its one of the only choices with a 1400 spin speed, except for the 2 -3 hour programmes which I would never use. I would choose the 60c for 50 minutes as the most cost effective, but are you sure you can't change the temperature? 60c will ruin your clothes.
Cant you change the temp on the wash cycles?
I don't understand why a quick wash would be set at only 60 degrees, when recommended washing temperatures are lower.
i am interested in these answers. My machine has a 40 degree quick wash that takes about 50 minutes, and a 40 degree "eco" wash that seems to take about 3 hours
