“LAUNDRY MACHINE”
“(CLOTHES) WASHER”
.
-a ‘machine’ used to wash [laundry]-
(such as ‘clothing’ / ‘sheets’)
.
-COLD WATER-
(to prevent “shrinkage”)
-COTTON BOXERS-
.
-the term is mostly applied to ‘machines’ that use ‘water’ as opposed to ‘dry cleaning’ (which uses ‘alternative cleaning fluids’ and is performed by ‘specialist businesses’) or ‘ultra-sonic cleaners’-
.
Standard water temperature ranges in a washing machine are
approximately 65-80°F (18-26°C) for cold water,
90-110°F (32-43°C) for warm water,
and 130°F (54°C) and up for hot water
.
These settings help you choose the right temperature to clean different types of fabrics and soils, with hot water best for disinfection and heavy stains, warm for lightly soiled items, and cold for delicates and color-preserving washes
.
Specific Temperature Ranges
Cold Water:
• Approximately 65-80°F (18-26°C). [1, 2]
• Ideal for delicates, dark colors, and items that could shrink in heat. [2, 4]
Warm Water:
• Generally between 90-110°F (32-43°C). [1, 2]
• Effective for lightly stained fabrics and everyday items. [2, 3]
Hot Water:
• Starts at 130°F (54°C) and goes higher. [1, 2]
• Use for heavy-soiled items, bedding, towels, and to kill germs, viruses, and bacteria. [2, 3]
Factors to Consider
Garment Care Tags: Always check the care label on your clothes for specific temperature recommendations. [5]
Household Illness: Hot water is essential for disinfecting items used by someone who is sick to prevent germ spread. [3]
Detergent Performance: Very cold water (below 60°F) may make some powdered detergents difficult to dissolve, leaving residue. [6, 7]
Fabric Type: Hot water can cause shrinkage or fading, so it should be used judiciously. [3]
Outdoor Temperatures: The temperature of your cold water supply can vary, especially in winter, so it’s good to check the actual temperature with a kitchen thermometer for best results. [7, 8]
