Episode 2: The Results

Cold water really does work when it comes to getting your laundry clean.

As with all things, you’re going to find that there are exceptions to this rule. Some stains just won’t come out in cold (like our wine stains). The good news is that cold water doesn’t set stains (unlike hot water, which will permanently set protein stains, for example), so you can always try washing in cold first, and if that doesn’t work, wash the stained items in warmer temperatures.

Here’s something else to chew on: if you’re washing clothes in “warm”, then in the summer you can switch to cold because the actual temperature will be about the same as “warm” in the winter.
