Save Time and Electricity With a Lighter Wash Program - June 2016
I use my washing machine's gentle cycle for everything - sheets, towels, school uniforms, you name it. It's quicker (only 22 minutes for my top loader) so it uses less electricity, and the gentler spinning action means there's less wear and tear on clothing. Our clothes are clean and my chores are finished sooner. Of course if hubby has greasy mechanic's overalls or such, you may need to use a heavier cycle, but for my office worker and school kid family, this works perfectly.
Likewise, why not try a lighter wash program for your dishwasher?
I had always used the normal program, until one day I accidentally selected the quick wash program instead. The result - spotlessly clean and dry dishes, even the pots and pans, and more than an hour faster than the regular setting. Needless to say, I've used the quick wash ever since!
Why not give it a go?

Editor's note: I always use the quick wash on the dishwasher - the cycle takes 25 minutes, the dishes are cleaned and put away in under half an hour, perfect for our busy household. With the washing machine I select the wash program according to what is in the load. I also check the water levels for wash and rinse at the same time.
