can someone tell me the temperature settings for different clothes in the washer?

Answer 1

If you want to save money on your energy bill, don't use hot or even warm water for the wash. I wash almost everything in cold water.

Some clothing manufacturers suggest washing dark clothes in warm water, to keep the colors from fading. Most people wash dark clothes in cold water for the same reason; it depends on the dyes used.

If you wash lights and whites seperate from dark clothes, they will stay whiter and brighter. Once in a while you can wash whites in hot water to brighten them again, but hot water shrinks things.

I only use hot water when clothes are very greasy or have stuff on them that needs hot water to get out.

I do use warm water on blankets, sometimes hot water as it supposedly kills mites that might be in the bedding.

It does get confusing, but there is nothing wrong with just using cold water on everything. If you have lots of money, and don't care how much your energy bill is, using warm or even hot water is ok.

A good quality laundry detergent will get your clothes clean, no matter the water temperature.

Answer 2

First be surely particular which you in basic terms have all the discolored whites to place into the washing device considering you will ought to rewash them. If there are fairly some products of clothing attempt to split them to the place once you place the washing device on heavy load the water will thoroughly hide the clothing. Use as warm of water that the device could make. Pour a 1lb field of Arm & Hammer baking soda into the water on an identical time because it is nonetheless warm and stir it in properly. upload ¼ cup of white vinegar and stir in properly. upload ¼ cup of common dish detergent and enable the clothing soak for extra or less ½ hour before commencing the washing device. Wash on Medium or standard cycle. If that may not powerful repeat the stairs a million to 3 cases extra yet in maximum circumstances the 1st repeat will eliminate the dye each so often the 1st rewashing will artwork. good luck!!

Answer 3

always read the tags or labels when you first buy something
Some fabrics like wool will shrink and should always be washed in cold water no matter what color they are. If you can't read the label then go with the color code.

New Colored items should go thorough their first four washes alone so that if their color is not "set" it won't bleed into the rest of the laundry. (this is not so much of a problem as it was twenty years ago but it is something to be aware of)

some of the more expensive items need to be dry cleaned only

and still others that have shape concerns like baseball caps
and bras and need to be hand washed.
