Many years ago, experts advocated using hot water to wash your clothes because that was the best way to get them clean. Between the detergent and the high temperatures, it was difficult for germs to survive and difficult for stains to persist. However, with recent improvements to washing machine technology and detergent technology, hot water is no longer necessary. While hot water doesn’t hurt, using cold water is just as effective and can save you approximately $60 a year on energy costs.
It’s a small amount of savings but it’s like phantom electricity drains, why spend money on things that don’t improve your life? Why pay for hot water when cold water works just as well?
