Cold water wash for everything except towels and underwear, baybee
Haven’t separated by color in like, ever
Why except towels and underwear? Asking for a friend.
As a person with a delicate immune system I feel better knowing the items that touch bacteria-sensitive portions of my body are sanitized with heat.
Do you actually go to temperatures high enough to sanitize? 60C is still in the bacteria danger zone, and 90C is damaging to a lot of fabrics. My towels would fade under the high heat, and it takes so much energy to heat the water.
Jizz?
