Adjust the Cycle to Suit the Load - January 2018

I have recently realized that every time I use my washing machine I adjust the water load for the size of my wash but I never adjust the length of the wash cycle. If I have say a load of towels the machine automatically washes for 20 mins before rinsing and spinning. As towels are basically clean - they are used after you shower - I adjust the wash cycle and they only wash for 10 minutes. I do this for each load depending on how dirty the load. Halving the washing time makes a difference to the electricity used
