Clean the door seals regularly. They can get clogged up with hair and other shmutz. Quick wipe around (and inside the grooves) once a week or and you’re golden.
As CEO said, much, much less detergent.
Cycles - I’ve been using ones that go for 40-60 minutes generally. Never an issue with cleanliness and freshness. If it’s a smart washer with lots of programs, ones specifically for towels are a must. Might take a bit longer but towels end up brilliant.
Oh, and front loaders are gentler on all fabrics :)

Do you use any cleaning agent on the seals or just a damp cloth is enough?
No cleaning agent. Wipe them down with a damp cloth and leave the door and detergent compartment open when finished. Helps stop mould from forming.
Hygiene wash is important. Don’t skip it.
Damp cloth does the job. You can use a bit of soapy water or something similar, but probably won’t need it if cleaned regularly.
I think shmutz is my new favourite word
It’s great isn’t it?
