Hotpoint -"Baby cycle"

[zilla]

So our washer/dryer has decided to pack in, right when we're trying to save the pennies!!

we've seen the hotpoint with "baby cycle" - does anyone have any feedback on how this might be when it comes to washing cloth nappies? I didn't know if the wash might be more thorough, or just more delicate and gentle than regular washes.

thanks

I have a hot point with baby wash, I found it did an extra soak but spun at a slower speed, I don't use cloth nappies but it gets all his poopy clothes clean. Here is the blurb from my user manual if this helps

"This was cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies while ensuring that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies.
The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.
At the end of the cycle the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases"

We have a Beko which has a "baby & toddler" setting. I haven't the faintest idea what it does...it does take 2.5hours though I use that setting or "intensive" for cloth nappies depending on what mood I'm in. Seems to clean/rinse enough though

I haven't used it to wash cloth nappies but I've noticed that the baby cycle goes on for far too long

My kid cycle goes on for over 2 hours. Drives me insane!

The baby cycle on my old beko just gave an extra rinse to make sure all detergent was out. My current Hoover (they do washing machines too) model has a "sensitive" setting that dies the same.

Only cycle that gets used in this house is the "clean pants as quick as possible" express cycle.
