Choosing the right washing temperature isn’t just about clean clothes — it affects energy use, fabric care, and your electricity bill.
✅ Cold Wash (20–30°C)
Great for delicate fabrics and dark colors that may bleed. Saves up to 40% more energy compared to hot washes. Perfect for everyday laundry without heavy stains.
🌡️ Warm Wash (40°C)
The golden middle ground for most cotton clothes and daily wear. Balances stain removal with energy efficiency. Ideal for sportswear and lightweight towels.
🔥 Hot Wash (60°C and above)
Best for bedding, sheets, baby clothes, or underwear that need disinfecting. Powerful against oils and stubborn stains. Use sparingly as it consumes more energy.
🎯 The Bottom Line
90% of daily laundry is fine at 30–40°C.
Heat only when you need stain-busting or sanitizing power.
Cold wash + good detergent = clean clothes and lower bills.
