Hot water most certainly helps with washing clothes more than simply using cold. Anytime you increase the temperature, you’re killing more bacteria than a lower temperature. And obviously the higher the temperature, the more bacteria that dies. However hot water, from my understanding, can make colors “run” which is why it’s typically recommended to only use hot water for whites
