Cold Wash?


Apparently, a 25 degree Centigrade clothes wash is the best for the environment as it can clean garments but minimises the release of microplastics (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/shortcuts/2020/jan/15/25c-wash-is-greenest-can-it-really-clean-filthy-clothes). The difficulty appears to be getting the detergent manufacturers to get their products working efficiently at lower temperatures.
