Washing machine: never wash clothes at 40°C. Here’s why!

The first “tip” is obviously to wash the washing machine only when the load is full. In fact, it makes absolutely no sense to wash only one or two items of clothing. This will clearly lead to excessive consumption of water and electricity.

The second “trick” is equally simple and intuitive and consists of taking advantage of the low temperature of the washing machine. In particular, you should never exceed a temperature of 30 degrees to avoid exceeding your bill.

Regardless of the damage that too high a temperature could cause to clothing, you should generally use a temperature above 40 degrees to clean heavily stained or dirty clothing, or to clean clothing made of resistant materials such as nickel.

For example, you should keep in mind that underwear is very delicate. Therefore, washing underwear and bras at 40 degrees or more is not the right choice at all. Furthermore, synthetic clothing suffers a lot from high temperatures, so even in this case it is necessary to understand well whether it is worth washing at such high temperatures.

For all these reasons, using too high a temperature can damage clothes. With such high temperatures, it is necessary to weigh carefully to avoid the risk of seriously damaging clothes.

However, the garments most exposed to this outcome after being washed at high temperatures are certainly underwear. In these cases, fractures or cracks may occur, also caused by the spin cycle.

In short, to make the most of the washing machine, it is necessary to take into account various factors and pay attention to how to save on the bill
