Does laundry detergent help to wash away germs from clothes?

297 views

I read that washing clothes with detergent in low temperature doesn’t kill germs.
I also read that regular hand soap doesn’t kill germs too – it just helps to wash away germs from hands in connection with water.
Does laundry detergent do same?
Does washing clothes in low temperature with detergent wash away germs to any extent?

Washing clothes with normal detergent will remove some bacteria, but certainly not all of them.

If you want to kill all the germs on your clothing, you need to sanitize it – use very hot water, or use bleach or some other laundry santizer additive. Do be careful; most clothes don’t like very hot water, and some additives – like bleach – can have negative effects as well.
