Why does water temperature matter when washing clothes?

454 views

Visiting my parents, my mom seems disappointed to find me washing my clothes in cold water, she says it’s just not right but couldn’t quite explain why.

I’ve washed all of my laundry using the “cold” setting on washing machines for as long as I can remember. I’ve never had color bleeding or anything similar as seems to affect so many people.

EDIT: I love how this devolved into tutorials on opening Capri suns, tips for murders, and the truth about Australian peppers

I’m seeing people say that cold water doesn’t kill pathogens and germs but what if I dry the clothes in the high heat setting after washing in cold?
