Got a bunch of cotton towels that need refreshing. Loaded them into the new front-load washer, set to long cotton cycle (almost 4 hours) with water temp set at 95ºC; this is a good trick, my home hot water is regulated to 52ºC by law. The washer has a water heater built it for those higher temps.
Extended the wash cycle with an optional prewash with some bleach powder & ordinary detergent powder plus fabric softener.
This machine can handle up to 7 kg of laundry and uses 70 litres of water in the process plus a few more litres for the prewash part.
