Washing machine temperatures

[StaticSockMonster]

Am new to the forum and have a question that may seem simple to you good folk.
After always having a washing machine that does a 50 degree wash, we have just purchased one without this setting.
I have always used this wash for jeans, hoodies, everyday wear etc. what do I use now?! My mum is telling me that a 60 will shrink/colours will run and a 40 won't get them clean.
Am now majorly paranoid that we will all be wearing clothes that are either too small or not properly clean.
Can you tell me what you guys do this sort if washing on?
Thank you.

Have tried lots of them, and am just not happy with the results at a 30 degree wash

40C for nearly everything. Delicates on 30C
Very occasional 60C washes for towels.

All gets nice and clean! Modern washing machines are good.

Yes, maybe it's the washing machine itself rather than the powder that is getting washing really clean at 30C.

Ours is about 4 -5 years old and was 'average' price and seems to do the trick.

Gosh!!!! i have exactly the same problem,and after my best temperature 50 degrees,i left with nothing now! i bought new machine i hate,as exactly the same -shrinked or not tidy...can u please tell me,guys,what a washing machine contains 50 degrees,as i am going to purchase new one,i had enough!

lilyrosepink my Miele has a 50 degree wash and a 75 degree wash which comes in really handy if someone has been sick
