Most housewives start the wash cycle at 40 degrees.
It is considered that this is a universal temperature regime, which is suitable for most manufacturers of clothing and underwear.
In addition, they say that stains are removed better this way.
But in reality, it will be enough to set the temperature to 30 degrees. This will not affect the quality of washing, but it is believed that it will save electricity.
Still, the speed of rotation of the drum, the quantity and quality of the detergent really play a big role.
In this case, the quality of the materials and the severity of the contamination should be taken into account.
For example, if we are talking about washing white cotton linen that has stains or traces of sweat, then in this case the temperature can be set to 60 degrees.
If we are talking about colored items, it is better to choose a lower temperature so that the fabric does not fade.
