  I often work in hot, oily, dusty environments. So if I don’t wash in hot, the smell and stains aren’t coming out. And I can’t be arsed to separate it.

    Stains and chemical smells are their own thing, but a 1/4 cup of white vinegar in the pre wash takes care of any biologic smells my clothes get.

      How diluted is the vinegar you’re using?

        Just straight vinegar. It’s going into a swirling machine full of water. It will dilute itself.

        I use the same 5% I use for cooking. Nothing special.

    I also have a dusty environment where I work and wash my work clothes with my underwear in 60 degrees Celsius and my casual wear I wash in 40 degrees Celsius. Then I only need to do two machines. One 60 and one 40 degrees

  I've only had color bleed on its first wash, after that the tags are more like guidelines.

  For clothes yes, dishes need hot to break down the oils and grease.

    Yeah, but from personal experience I recommend using the dishwasher for washing dishes instead of the washing machine

      For a moment there I actually imagined a washing machine with a rolling drum full of dishes and glasses it …

  I used to do that but after a while the washing machine got a buildup of foul gunk that leaves little bits of crap stuck to everything you wash. Apparently an occasional hot wash is needed to keep the machine clean.

    I guess that’s the YMMV part. haven’t had anything like that happen in five years on this machine
