My whole adult life, I've ignored all laundry labels and just followed recommendations on the dial of the washer also, crucially, I've learned to assiduously avoid attempting to wash or dry any of my wife's clothes as that requires careful inspection of each item with dire consequences for each mistake.

Curious about those middle temperature settings. It seems like a lot of levels: 70C, 60C, 50C, 40C. What fabric would be fine at 40C, but 50C would be "too hot"?

I mean, I understand that some synthetics or wool would have a problem with extreme heat like 95C, and some might need to be at room temp for color to stay. But beyond that, isn't one "middle level" enough?
