minus-squareRevan343@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·12 hours agoDo you wash in hot or cold water?
minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·edit-211 hours agoThis is the right question. I always use cold water unless something is soiled. Or maybe towels if there’s nothing else in there. I think detergents have gotten good enough to work just as well in cold water, and that’s mostly why it’s better.
minus-square4grams@awful.systemslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·11 hours agoYeah, cold for everything except whites (they get warm plus bleach). Else these days I do still try to separate them into dark and light colors. Jeans do still fade but it doesn’t transfer to the rest.
