Just looked at the boiler and it was set on "B" - graduated for half the range, then A, B, C, and "Very hot". I've set it on "C" so we'll see how hot that gets.

Currently we have Arm&Hammer Oxiclean liquid, Bold powder, and Tide tumble dryer sheets. Can't remember what we've had in the past but it's been a variety. Come to think of it, in relative terms it's a lot less powder than we used to use in the UK.

Thanks again!
