There are also college questions when washing clothes. Many details to pay attention to, such as laundry detergent, laundry quantity, clothing types, etc. Among them, the water temperature cannot be set casually. Experts point out that hot water and cold water are the best choices, and it is not recommended to use warm water to wash. According to the New York Post, Dr. Xand van Tulleken suggested in the BBC Morning Live program that if you want to kill harmful microorganisms or any bacteria on your clothes, you should wash your clothes at 140 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Celsius), which is hot water. "At 60 degrees Celsius, some microorganisms will be killed, and the effect is quite good. So if you are infected at home, especially norovirus, adjust the water temperature to 60 degrees Celsius, and use machine washing and laundry serum."

In addition to protecting delicate clothes, washing clothes with cold water can also save money. So from the perspective of sterilization and cost, Tulleken said that washing with water is a "stupid choice", which can be said to be unintentional, because the temperature of water is too low to kill bacteria, but it is not cheap. "Compared with 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Celsius), 20 degrees Celsius can save 62% of the money, so this is very important."
Like many electrical appliances, washing machines should also be cleaned regularly, especially when washing with cold water. The self-cleaning setting of the washing machine is high temperature cleaning. According to the instructions, it should be turned on and dry after cleaning.
In addition to washing clothes with inappropriate temperatures, other common mistakes include putting too much laundry serum. Ian Palmer-Smith, an appliance repair expert, said that excessive amounts of laundry serum can cause waste of water, require additional time to drain water, and retain laundry serum. Washing too much clothes at once is also a problem. Modern laundry functions can detect whether the negative load is balanced. Imbalance usually leads to an increase in washing time, as long as the clothes are evenly distributed in the drum. The washing machine should not be fully equipped, and the water loading capacity should not exceed 80%. You should be able to see the upper end of the drum.
