"The cotton (or whites) cycle runs longer and hotter, making it best for sturdy items like towels, sheets, T-shirts, and jeans. If you want to save energy, you don't need the absolute hottest setting - dropping down one notch still gets the job done. You can use nearly any detergent here. For man-made fibers and blends, this setting, which is also known as easy care or permanent press, uses lower heat, less spin, and gentler agitation than the cotton cycle."
"The delicate cycle keeps agitation and temperatures low, making it perfect for silk, lace, lingerie, or knitwear. For extra protection, pop items into a mesh laundry bag and pair with a gentle detergent. Just need a refresh? Quick wash is a short cycle designed for lightly worn clothes, like gym gear. Moore cautions against overloading the washer here - otherwise, nothing really gets clean. Use cold water for an energy-saving boost."
