At some point (in a galaxy, long long time ago) I learned to turn jeans, shorts and hoodies inside out when putting them into washing machine. For some reason, I don’t do the same with smaller, simple things like T-shirts and underwear.
I forgot what was the reasoning behind it, but when I think about it, can’t seem to come to a conclusion which way is better.
Is one way better than another and why?
Both don’t make a lot of sense. Celsius would be 18.3°. Fahrenheit however would be too much for a lot of clothes. I have never in my life washed hotter than 60°C.
Fahrenheit makes sense. The Tide website recommends washing at 16C minimum for regular detergent and 4C minimum for cold water detergent.
I only wash at 30C max.
Recent studies by consumer organisations indicate that washing at “cold” is just as effective as higher temperatures, for everyday clothing. But it saves a ton of energy and is a lot cheaper.
