Can I wash Cotton on a Synthetics wash?

Well, I have found they haven't been coming out very clean lately to be honest. I have tried several detergents and conditioners, from top name to supermarket and they results are the same.
So wanted to try a higher temp wash and see if that made any difference.

Hi Jonj
I only wash bedsheets and towels at 60degrees, and even then people argue you don't need to. It's just what Mum taught me
There is another thread which may offer help - OS way to brighter whites - so I hope you get some good ideas from that. Off to read it myself - I don't have many (any) whites - I'm a black wearer
:rotfl:

Lol, thanks for the link, I will check that out, I have found most cleaners that claim to get it whiter than white maybe fibbing lol

The majority of my washing is done on 40º synthetics, but I often turn the temperature control down to 30º.
White cottons, and towels I prefer to do on 60º, as they seem cleaner that way.0
