Lip Gloss Oct 2019 9:44pm, 23 Oct 2019 36,409 posts	0 Lip Gloss I use a quick wash ( 30 minutes ) for most things then a longer hotter wash (60 minutes ) for whites or towels. Like B says nothing is that dirty these days without kids in the house. I find my eco ones and the eco one on the dishwasher take far too long.

Autumnleaves Oct 2019 10:06pm, 23 Oct 2019 14,217 posts	0 Autumnleaves When we replaced our washing machine we were advised to do a 60 wash about once a month to kill off bacteria. I do use the eco wash overnight as I'm not then fussed how long it takes.
