Why Warm Washes Are a Laundry Fail

Did you know washing your clothes in warm water is basically pointless? According to Dr. Xand van Tulleken, hot (60°C/140°F) kills germs, cold (20°C/68°F) saves cash, but warm is just a waste. He says, 'It’s too hot to be cheap, too cold to kill bugs.' Pro tip: use hot for sick days or sweaty gym gear, cold for everything else. Oh, and don’t overload your machine or drown your clothes in detergent—your washer (and wallet) will thank you! #Beauty #LaundryHacks #HomeTips
