Washing machine cycles - be honest

[mydogishot]

How many do you use?

I've just bought new machine and it has 32 cycles. 32.

I only used 3 on my now deceased one!
1 for white or colours
1 for quick wash
Long and hot for bedding/towels.

You can even get wifi machines.

Is it necessary?!

All of them! I don't have 32 though. Allergy, silks, wools, darks, mixed, cottons, quick wash, sports...

Oh and I alter them to suit, making the wash quicker, adding a rinse, changing spin speed etc.

Cottons hot (towels bedding), cottons 40 or 30, synthetics 30, delicates, machine 'hand' wash.

We use the 40 and 60 degree washes plus the duvet setting every now and then. We sometimes use the 20 minute cycle for school kit which is needed the next day.
