Wash Water Temperature
Water temperature
can
directly affect cleaning,
wrinkling
and
the stability
of
colors and
fabric finishes. Select
water temperature according
to the fiber
content
of the
items
to
be washed,
the
amount
of
soil, and the type of
detergent
to
be used. The
care label lists the
fiber
content
and recommended
laundry
procedure for
each
item.
For
best results, use
the hottest wash
water
recommended on
the care label.
Hot water
is
the
temperature
of the hot water supply in
the house
when it
reaches the
washer. Warm
water
is
a
mix
of hot
and
cold
water
and
will vary
with the
temperatures
of
incominq
hot
and cold water. Cold water
is
determined
by
the
incoming
water
supply and can vary geographically and
with the
seasons.
Rinse
Water Temperature
Cold
water
is
recomminded for rinsing all loads because
it
saves
energy and
reduces
wrinkling
in permanent press, knit, and delicate
items A load rinsed
in
warm water
riill
dry somewhat faster
than one
rinsed in cold
water, but
heating the water
for
a
warm rinse requires
more energy
than extending
the
drying time.
