But if you\u2019re still washing clothes in hot water, you could accidentally be costing yourself more money.<\/p>\n<p>Washing clothes in hot water is no longer necessary thanks to advancements in detergents and washing machines.<\/p>\n<p>If you always heard to wash towels, sheets, athletic wear, or other heavily soiled items in hot water, there\u2019s a good chance it comes from a parent or grandparent. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maids.com\/blog\/pros-and-cons-of-washing-your-clothes-in-hot-water\/\">Hot water<\/a> was considered better at cleaning for a long time, and there\u2019s still some truth there. Hot water molecules get stains and dirt out quicker than cold because they move faster during the washing process, and it\u2019s also great at killing germs!<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rubbermaid-Hugger-Laundry-Basket-Standard\/dp\/B000YHNQFU\/ref=sxin_14_ac_d_mf_brs?ac_md=1-0-UnViYmVybWFpZA%3D%3D-ac_d_mf_brs_brs&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.1ad31f34-ba12-4dca-be4b-f62f7f5bb10d%3Aamzn1.sym.1ad31f34-ba12-4dca-be4b-f62f7f5bb10d&amp;crid=2R70THOKFBR4K&amp;cv_ct_cx=laundry+basket&amp;keywords=laundry+basket&amp;pd_rd_i=B000YHNQFU&amp;pd_rd_r=71145ce5-8489-4524-80f9-d77d59b03b9c&amp;pd_rd_w=5VSYI&amp;pd_rd_wg=l9DvM&amp;pf_rd_p=1ad31f34-ba12-4dca-be4b-f62f7f5bb10d&amp;pf_rd_r=AAY8M845ZGY5D3YG7J43&amp;qid=1674165236&amp;sprefix=laundry+basket%2Caps%2C243&amp;sr=1-1-8b2f235a-dddf-4202-bbb9-592393927392&amp;tag=lsmedia-13923-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/21e0PDwkYzL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Now, though, both <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalfloss.com\/article\/552667\/why-you-should-stop-washing-your-clothes-warm-water\">appliances and laundry detergent<\/a> can do the same without hot water. Newer washer models are more efficient at cleaning than old-school top-loaders with built-in agitators. The newer models are high efficiency and built to have lower wash temperatures that meet the Department of Energy standards, so they have to be better cleaners.<\/p>\n<p>These new high-efficiency washers also mean updates to detergents. Remember how we mentioned hot water molecules moving faster and thus being better at cleaning? Well, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/washing-machines\/dont-bother-using-hot-water-to-wash-your-laundry\/#\">Consumer Reports<\/a> spoke with\u00a0Tracey Long, communications manager for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=432db143fab4826620fe7b8eb31c6901&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fus.pg.com%2Fbrands%2F&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">P&amp;G<\/a>\u2018s fabric care products in North America, who explained that modern detergents have become a mix of surfactants and enzymes that work together in cold water for equivalent performance.<\/p>\n<p>So is there any time you should use hot water? If you, a family member, or a roommate have been ill, that\u2019s the time to flip that cycle to hot. Otherwise, cold and warm washes should be just fine, and thanks to no longer needing to heat water, you\u2019ll save on energy costs to boot!\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '267914477473431');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
