Is quick wash really that bad?

I agree.  Towels, sheets, socks and undies go on a higher temperature than regular clothes, but I use quick wash for everything. 

I am the same.  If I waited for the regular wash my husband would be drying himself with the tablecloth.   

I only use quickwash - it takes over an hour, so it's not really quick at all! - unless something is majorly soiled.  Clothes on 30 (or on cold, depending on the fabric), sheets and towels on 60 (or even 90, if one of us has been ill and there are germs lurking about).  I've never had an issue with something not getting clean.

I do have a quick wash cycle on my washing machine but use it on occasion.. I usually use the longer wash since i am usually washing clothes i've had on at work(think nursey type clothes) and always wash the delicates in long cycle otherwise they just don't seem to get clean. I tend to set the timer on my washing machine so that its done at a convienent time.
I LOVE the timer feature.. i can set it way ahead so everything is done when i get up.. or get home from work etc..
Its a great feature

I do towels and a few other bits and bobs on quick wash.  Clothing, unless brand new, is always on full cycle.

I don't know how you all do it. With our quickwash, we could control temps. If I'd done normal washes, I think I'd still be backlogged on diapers from a year ago!

My old machine didn't have a temp option for quick wash. So it was either that or a long/hot wash.
