What is ‘Cottons + Pre’ mean? And how’s it different from the cotton setting in the arrow.

Which one should I be using for DD’s clothes?! 😂

Cottons +pre is probably a normal cotton wash plus an additional prewash. The cotton wash in the arrow should be fine for a normal wash.

Pre wash.

Cottons + Pre is a long, pretty warm-hot wash with a high speed spin - use for towels, flannels, cotton bath mats and bathrobes.

Not for delicates.

What labels are in your daughter's clothes?

Oh gosh we’ve been doing them all on cotton +pre 🙈

She’s only 5 weeks and in sleepsuit a that are 100% cotton so I just assumed cotton cycle was the best

Pre wash, a soak before the cotton cycle

Pre wash for heavily stained items

Have you got a separate temperature setting?

I've only ever used the pre-wash for things like filthy work overalls.

Horehound · 10/02/2020 17:08

I think I usually use a synthetic setting since have 100% cotton clothes is rare. How long and hot is the baby care setting?

😂😂😂😂 I didn’t even see that we have a baby care setting!

I am truly useless..
