Getting dark colors clean Choose “cold” for your darks load because cold water makes clothes less likely to fade.
Do you use hot or cold water to wash your clothes? Laundry experts say that this is a matter of personal preference, but there are a few things to think about. One thing that will affect how well stains can be cleaned is the temperature of the water. Hot water makes it easier to get rid of stains and dirt because it loosens the fibers of the fabric. Because the cloth is stiffer when it’s cold, these particles are less likely to get out. No matter how hot or cold the water is, the chemicals in laundry detergent help get rid of dirt.
