    I wash everything cold, and generally all together

      Kills bacteria. This is especially important for dishwashing gloves or sponges. It also simply cleans more efficiently and dissolves many stains effortlessly.

      I often work in hot, oily, dusty environments. So if I don’t wash in hot, the smell and stains aren’t coming out. And I can’t be arsed to separate it.

        I also have a dusty environment where I work and wash my work clothes with my underwear in 60 degrees Celsius and my casual wear I wash in 40 degrees Celsius. Then I only need to do two machines. One 60 and one 40 degrees

        Stains and chemical smells are their own thing, but a 1/4 cup of white vinegar in the pre wash takes care of any biologic smells my clothes get.
