This is why quick wash can cause damage to your laundry

You can use the quick wash program for clothes that aren't stained. If a shirt has wine or oil stains on it, quick wash won't get rid of them. So for laundry that is only mildly dirty, or simply doesn't smell fresh anymore, you can use quick wash. But does the program really save energy?

Not really. Even though the machine only runs for a short time, it also has to generate a lot of energy very quickly. This process causes a higher energy expenditure. Like this, you don't save money and you also don't really protect the environment. Also: don't forget that you should never wash your jeans.

Which program should you use, if you're in a rush and want to save money?
