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

Side note, I only use cold water now, and very little detergent unless there’s serious dirt or grime on the clothes. If they smell, toss a small bit of white vinegar in there. My clothes, as a result, last 10x longer, and they smell perfectly neutral (if I use a scentless detergent).
It’s hard to prove, but I feel its saved me thousands of dollars over the last 6-7 years.
