Try Washing Clothes in Cold Water
My Dear Old Granny always said "Clothes get cleaner in Hot Water." While this might have been more true in the past, today's detergents and machines are specially formulated to work with water of any temperature. So instead of washing a load of laundry in energy intense, hot water, give cold a try. Warm or hot water doesn't necessarily reduce more bacteria. The experts at The Suds Bucket on Harrison Street know "Cold" is the best temperature for laundry.
Cold Water Saves You Money The average household washes about 50 pounds of laundry every week and over 6,000 articles of clothing every year! That equates to over 5,000 gallons of water annually. Making the switch to cold water can help cut your energy consumption in half and save on monthly utility bills.
Removes Stains Better Stubborn stains, like sweat and blood, respond better to cold water. These stains will set into the fabric when treated in hot water. Other tough stains like grass and makeup are easily removed in cold water. Pro Tip: Add a cup of hydrogen peroxide to the load. Helps lift this type of stains, brightens whites and colors and more.
Delicate Fabrics are Safer Fabrics such as silk or lace are much safer in cooler, gentler temperatures. Hot water can damage these fabrics, causing them to fade, wrinkle, transfer color, or break down.
No Worries of Shrinkage Ever accidentally shrunk your spouse's favorite pants? Washing clothes in cold water avoids shrinkage. No more recycling or gifting perfectly fine clothes that don't "fit."
Fewer Wrinkles Did you know Cold Water Washing reduces friction better to avoid pilling and wrinkles. Less Ironing!
Environmentally Friendly and Energy Efficient Did you know that about 90% of the energy your washing machine uses goes toward heating the water? Cold Water Washing is better for the environment by saving energy. Studies suggest that switching to cold water can eliminate over 1,500 pounds of carbon dioxide a year, thus decreasing your carbon footprint.
