You can also soak soiled cloths over nigh in cold water to get them clean.

I am definately going to do this !
My children go to a Catholic school and to save the uniforms they will be washed seperate in cold water only and with Woolite. Hanging to dry is the best way to go as well. :)

always cold!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have done this ever since I moved out on my own 18 years ago. I have never even thought about using hot water and I don’t even know why. If I want an extra cleaning boost, I just add some Young Living Essential Thieves Oil to kill the germs. When I want my stuff softer, I add vinegar into the liquid softener spot in the washer. I always hang dry my clothes, even in winter. I have a clothes tree outside and I bought wooden drying racks for inside. The other way to save on water is if you use a dehumidifier to dump that water into your washer and use it to wash clothes. It is clean water, why waste it?

My wife and I have always used cold water. Our clothes last longer and our gas bill is cheaper.

I try to always wash in cold water, other than when I wash whites with bleach.

I always wash in cold water.

I only wash my clothes this way or else it shrinks my jeans and thats never good!

This is the only way i wash my clothes because i have a bad habit of dying and shrinking my familys clothes. Its good to know i have been helping all along

i always do this :)

I’ve been doing this already for years now…I only very seldom wash whites in hot when I bleach them…

I’m pretty naive!!! I didn’t realize that it was cheaper to wash in cold water. I’ve done three loads in cold/cold already. Yeah!

I already do this also as I am cheap too. The only thing I wash hot with is sheets and towels

I have been doing this for several years now & my college-age children do the same.
