How many programs do you actually use on your washing machine?

[cozietoesie]

I was just putting a load of washing on - in a 3 year old Bosch - and it occurred to me that I really only use two programs on the thing, with maybe some added 'reduced speed' and 'reduced time'. Yet I swear that I would probably need 10 minutes to work out how many it really has including all the various combinations of speed, temperature and time etc etc.

Does everyone else use the full range?

I have a wonderful new washing machine that I sadly adore. Old one was almost 15 years old and I used 40 dog and 60deg and occasionally 30deg. Now I use
cottons (60/1600 spin)
synthetics (40/1200 spin) and a blissful
20 minute one (40/1200) which is useful for odd things I forgot or just spilt something on.
There are other programmes but I haven't used them yet eg cold and 30. I am sad to say I really love it and I actually wipe it down every day. I had no idea How crap my old one was and how fast everything dries with a spinner that actually spins! And I have done first monthly maintenance wash.

I'm not at all sure, florentina1. I have my two programs (with add-ons) that I know and love and the rest is hand-washed. (I have full hand-washing facilities.) The other programs are a bit of a mystery to me.

You wipe it down every day,over ?
