This doesn't make any sense...there is a huge movement to use cold water to wash clothes, and hot water unless it's extremely hot, isn't staying hot enough to kill off bacteria. Were you using detergent correctly?
Yup, always the same amount (Pods). The only thing that changed was the temperature of the water.
It doesn't make sense if you think the heat is here to kill bacteria. However, heat helps detergents do their job, and most likely helps loosen biofilms given their composition.
