Reply #7: laundry issues

[northoftheborder]

I wash most things on warm, w/cold rinse, including towels. (If someone has been sick I might wash towels and sheets separately on hot.) I think oily stains, and other soil come out better with warm water. I wash all my kitchen towels and cloths together and use hot, to disinfect, plus bleach sometimes. Underwear, warm or cold, as it is all lingerie, and would be ruined in hot water. I don't use softener, as my water isn't particularly hard. I use dryer sheets only if I have some things that are nylon or other synthetic, just once. Items which have a "cold" wash only I wash by hand.
