Most modern washing machines do a very good job at washing clothes. If you're not in a particularly dirty job, they'll usually be clean enough on a short cycle at a low temperature. @Yanic A: Thanks for commenting again, always nice to have you drop by :-)

That’s a great tip regarding the “dirtiness” of your clothes. Most modern washing machines do a very good job at washing clothes. If you’re not in a particularly dirty job, they’ll usually be clean enough on a short cycle at a low temperature.

I'm an early bird so I start loads super early on saturday and sunday mornings to be done with them around 10am. By then, the rest of the building gets up and I starts taking showers and such and I'm done using hot water. I've been hanging-to-dry more and more which means that loads go by fast!Another tip : Eveluate how "dirty" your clothes really are! Do they need to wash for full 48 minute cycles? We use the "quick wash" setting on cold for both wash and rinse, which is a total of 28 minutes. Those shorter cycles REALLY add up!Once again, great read! Great tip!
