Yes, I queried it - Andy responded that it was just because it's what he has, and you didn't respond...

Oh yeah, about two years now.
As per my post I wondered how enzymes that process mucky stuff could affect Lycra, so open to explanation - I've started googling it and can't find anything other than third hand repeated info.
I will hold off until the non bio arrives tomorrow, just in case

So you missed that bio powder destroys Lycra. Hope you checked with your mum before switching the machine on...

Mrs Pot finds it most amusing when I approach The White Machines. I don't know how they make them so unintuitive - I need an iWashingMachine.

Why don't you ask your wife rather than strangers on a forum? Remember most members on here are also male and thus utterly clueless about all the important stuff in this world

Well, she's been washing my stuff with bio and softener at 30°C for years.
I found this paper:
Effect of Enzyme Wash (Cellulase Enzyme) on Properties of Different Weft Knitted Fabrics
http://inpressco.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Paper874242-4246.pdf
But that just indicates that enzymes (cellulase) increases shrinkage on Lycra jerseys. I think because they're partially Lycra and partially natural fibres - I do t think cellulase would increase reactivity of polyurethane.
Maybe I'm over thinking this

I'm sure I've seen some of those symbols on complicated Japanese loos.
Some of the air and water jets were surprising, but rarely have my bollocks been so clean!

Some of us are gay men.... and therefore bettered clued up in the important stuff in this world than most women...
And some of us straight men can actually do housekeeping better than their wife. Which winds her up lots.
Living on own for years is where I learned!

This doesn't appear to be the case for the OP, he's still clueless

Clueless...or charmingly naive?
Ok, clueless.
Well I have pieces of the puzzle, three corners and most of the edges, what I'm missing is why enzymes affect the plastics in sportswear.

I remember a phone call trying to instruct my son - then aged about 14 - how to use the washing machine when I was stuck at work.
"Oh, you mean press play" was my favourite answer.
Same son, attempting to do his washing at uni for the first time - 4 phone calls from the launderette in his halls!
