Comment on When washing, should I turn garments inside out?

  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.

    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.

    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.
