Also, if you have a kid that poops on things, it is nice to sanitize sometimes too. My family sounds so nice, doesn't it?
Sanitize actually raises the temperature of the water. So it gets hotter than a typical "hot" cycle, which is simply hot water from your water tank at home. Would a regular cycle clean things well enough? I suppose it probably would. But there is something satisfying about doing a load on sanitize when it involves bodily fluids.

Also, steam in the dryer is the shiznit. We got the lowest end Samsung front-loader set that still had steam for both Washer/Dryer through a buddy at Trail last year. Steam in the dryer is nice if you have to wear dress shirts or slacks that wrinkle. The de-wrinkle is a cool feature so I don't have to iron a shirt every single time I wear it.
