For example, when saving on washing, housewives choose a shorter cycle, a lower temperature, and try to load more laundry.

We will tell you what role water temperature plays in washing and in what cases saving will not lead to anything good.

Water temperature

Of course, this is the most important indicator. The result of washing, how well the powder dissolves, whether the stains are washed out, whether the bacteria are killed depend on the water temperature.

Therefore, an economy wash at 40 degrees Celsius or lower is not always appropriate.

Do not wash at 40 degrees

Firstly, you won’t be able to wash bed linen in this mode.

At best, the sheets and duvet covers will be refreshed, as this mode will be ineffective in the fight against bacteria.

Secondly, this mode is not suitable for cleaning children's clothes and terry products.

At low temperatures, diapers, rompers, bed linen and other baby items cannot be washed properly. After all, the main task is to disinfect the material.

As for towels and robes, they are washed at a temperature of no more than 30 degrees.

Thirdly, high-quality washing of linen and cotton is only possible at a temperature of 60-90 degrees Celsius.
