Washing Machine question--is quick wash the same as gentle cycle in USA?
 
My daughter just arrived in Sydney and called to ask what "quick wash" is on the washing machine in her apartment.

Is it the same as "gentle cycle?" If not, what would be the equivalent of gentle cycle?

Thanks

It should have a gentle setting, quick wash is as indicated a shorter wash time.

No, there wasn't any gentle cycle. That's why she was wondering what quick wash was.

Mine has a "Delicates" cycle. In lieu of that, the "quick" cycle would probably do. Tell your daughter to call the manufacturer tomorrow.

Or she could Google the machine make and model - often there are online instructions and details. Di

Thanks everyone. We did advise her to google the machine make and model number, so she'll have to do that and hopefully figure it out that way. There wasn't any kind of "Delicates" cycle.
