I’ve been a “throw everything in and wash on cold” person forever, but I started to notice certain things such as towels that typically require hot or warm water didn’t feel right anymore. Once I switched back they came out feeling soft and fluffy as usual. Why does it matter?

Just to throw some cold water on this subject: Most of our clothes are really not very dirty. For 90% of our clothes, throwing them in a cold water wash for 5 minutes with 20% of the suggested soap will result in perfectly usable clean clothes.
If you are a farmer, things are different. We are being upsold by the laundry companies to buy fancier washers and use far more soap than actually required.
