===Rinsing=== Washing machines perform several rinses after the main wash to remove most of the [[detergent]]. Modern washing machines use less [[hot water]] due to [[environmental concern]]s; however, this has led to the problem of poor rinsing on many washing machines on the [[Market (economics)|market]],<ref name="whitegoodshelp1">{{cite web|url=http://www.whitegoodshelp.co.uk/wordpress/why-cant-modern-washing-machines-rinse-properly/ |title=Why can't modern washing machines rinse properly? |date=31 August 2007 |publisher=Whitegoodshelp.co.uk |access-date=2010-02-16}}</ref> which can be a problem to people who are [[Allergy|sensitive]] to detergents. The [[Allergy UK]] website suggests re-running the rinse cycle, or rerunning the entire wash cycle without [[detergent]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allergyuk.org/fs_handyhints.aspx |title=Allergy Tips and Advice for Household Cleaning |publisher=Allergyuk.org |access-date=2010-02-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613062143/http://allergyuk.org/fs_handyhints.aspx |archive-date=2010-06-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In response to complaints, many washing machines allow the user to select additional rinse cycles, at the expense of higher [[water usage]] and longer cycle time. Bosch, for example, in its allergy wash program, incorporates an additional three-minute rinse cycle with water of at least {{convert|60|C}} to rinse off detergent residues and any allergens.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sudeep |first1=Anamika |title=Get To Know Your Washer Dryer Settings |url=https://www.bosch-home.in/experience-bosch/living-with-bosch/fresh-reads/getting-to-know-your-washer-dryer-settings |website=Bosch |publisher=Anamika Sudeep |access-date=24 July 2020}}</ref>
