My clothes don't get very soiled but they still need washing if I am to keep my friends. I use the "mixed fibre" setting on my washing machine a lot. I save my "dirty" clothes and sort whites and coloureds but beyond that they usually don't get sorted much. Towels and bedding get a hotter wash sometimes but the rest is OK at 30C or even 20C. I try and do as much as possible on Sunday to take advantage of cheaper electricity
I try and dry smaller items on the airers. I put the airers outside when I can but I can't move very quickly if it starts to rain, so often the conservatory has to suffice. It gets quite warm in there if there is any sunshine. Sheets go in the drier, at least in the winter, and towels are finished in the drier. I like fluffy towels.
