Turn down the heat—in your washing machine, that is—when it works for clothes and for your routine. Cold-water washing means clothing is less likely to shrink or fade and ruin clothes.
Cold vs. Hot: The Label Is Always Right If you're unsure whether a particular item needs warm water, read the label: Most labels show a laundry symbol that looks like a square tub with a wavy line for water Inside this symbol, you will find either a number or dots. A number indicates the highest wash water temperature. And it works for most items, but not all.
Care instructions for washing white clothes will often tell you to use hot water, especially when dealing with undergarments and linens. Because hot water is needed to effectively disinfect dish towels, washcloths, bedding and diapers. But make sure you keep your whites together and your light colors separated from darks, otherwise you could end up with colors bleeding into each other.
For most laundry , the best temperature for washing clothes is warm. Warm water is the go-to temp for washing colored clothes. A mix of both hot and cold water is a good balance of cleaning power and reducing shrinking, wrinkling and fading. You can wash natural fibers like cotton including denim as well as synthetics. Warm-to-hot water is also great for stain removal, say if you get eat barbecue in a white T-shirt.
If you have a sanitize function on your washer, that'll provide super hot water that's great for germ and dirt removal. There's this particular group of washing machines on the market and the [National Science Foundation], which is a third-party accreditor, and they have validated the sanitize function to actually correlate with germ removal. And so you wouldn't want to do that on every load of laundry, but say your kid is in school and you wanted to sanitize their clothing at the end of the day, or the bedding and linens I send to daycare, I often use the sanitize feature because my daughter's been napping on them all week.
And then with just the hot water temperature, you get some germ removal. You don't need any special additives or whatnot. And no matter what the circumstances are, always pay attention to your manufacturer's care instructions and keep that in mind when wearing your clothes.
Even if you get super sweaty and smelly while wearing a linen dress , chances are the sanitize function will shrink that item. Cold water is often enough to get your clothes clean and anything warmer brings an added bonus.
