    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 :D

    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 :p

    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 :o:rotfl:

    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    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.
