People use those settings? It all goes through the heavy soiled gauntlet for me

    Maybe others don't heavily soil their sheets

    No, you misunderstand: They're washing by passing their stuff through gauntlets.

    that is probably making your clothes age out faster than they need to (and takes longer and uses more power/water).

    I wash clothes when the hamper is full, about once every two weeks. Everything together (except whites) longest wash, hot water.

    Whatever comes out the other side goes back in the closet for the next round.

    People make a big deal about buying clothes, washing clothes, folding clothes, organizing closets, matching clothes, shoes, belts, accessories, brands, who wears what when, blah, blah, blah.

    Weather and society permitting, I wouldn't even wear clothes. Fuck clothes.

    I use the bulky setting for sheets, blankets, and towels (probably similar to towel setting) not because it washes differently, it doesn’t, but because it has different thresholds to consider the load balanced during spin, and spins it to different speeds. I want my washer to last, so I use it properly with big heavy stuff.

    I also use the sanitary setting when I wash underpants and post-bidet towels, but that’s because it superheats the water. Everything else gets washed on tap cold, regular cycle.
