Let’s face it, I then take the dirty ones downstairs, put them in a washing machine that washes and then dries them and gives them back to me in about 3 hours, clean, smelling nice and not even creased (does steam smoothing apparently!) while I read a book or some such, I can’t really complain that it took 3 minutes to do the buttons.
Thread drift coming ....
Three hours?? Now that IS patient.
I never have got my head round the so-called 'Eco wash'.
First time I used MiL's wm I was staggered at the time it took. I'd assumed Eco meant it would be a quicker wash Eventually I found the button to halve the time.
I bet someone posts in a mo pointing out that I am no eco-warrior for doing that, but it made me feel better
You know you don’t have to watch it?
My Nan going from a twin tub to automatic.
“It’s ok, and everything, but it takes an hour and a half, I can usually do each load in 8 minutes”.
“Nan, you don’t have to watch it, go and walk the dog or relax”
“Oh…. I see !
It’s like doing 2 things at once.
Wow. ”
That’s not the eco setting on ours, it’s just the “wash and dry” setting, though it is the “cottons hygiene” program, (which apparently is hot for a bit longer, and I do have the “use extra water” setting on, as I do actually like it all to get wet!
