Dirty laundry has:
>1. body OILS ... cleaned by HOT water
>2. body PROTEINS ... cleaned by COLD water
Washing machines wash in hot and rinse in cold, allegedly cleaning both types of scum, but this order ruins the clothing.
The hot water produces irreversible denaturation of the proteins (like frying an egg), setting it to be impossible to remove
The correct order ought rather to be:
1. to wash in COLD first, removing protein scum, then
2. to rinse in HOT, safely removing the oils
Washing in hot water at all is moronic. If you wash your hands with soap in cold water the oils on the skin are stripped and washed away. Same principle with laundry.
>psa from the gas company: wash your clothes with hot water kthx tards
the hot water is to soften the fabric and anything solid that might be attached to the clothes, which makes cleaning easier. it is the same technique howsewives use to wash dishes, but you guys wouldn't know it because you are virgins.
also if the water is very hot it helps killing bacteria and fungi, removing mold smell.
In the UK there are no more hot water lines to washing machines. They’re all cold, with millions of dead hot water lines that were run in earlier decades.
This of course builds up legionella in that dead leg and ends up killing people because the woke fanatical policy makers are fundamentally stupid.
Maybe your plumber should stop being so lazy and cap off the pipe at the last T junction. Washing machines are now easier to install because they don't need hot water, you can also install them in a shed or garage by only running a single cold water line and drain.
You shouldn't be drinking hot water anyway, use a kettle.
Sigh, okay…
The code now mandates that their can’t be any dead legs longer than about 1" and a lot of homes are over a hundred years old and it’s a major project to jackhammer through everything and find where it’s teed off. You seriously wouldn’t believe the kinds of craziness we find when called out.
The legionella risk comes from showering, not drinking it. The atomized water gets into your lungs and it develops into a kind of pneumonia where you have a 25% chance of dying.
The fire at Grenfell Towers was started by one of those new ecofridge where the coolant is more environmentally friendly but also more flammable, ditto for the electric car.
Heheh… yeah, it’s basically propane or butane now. I have a lot of it to make creme brulee… i keep it next to my natural gas stove.
just wash in cold water
the detergent will get those oils unless they're really stubborn, in which case scrub them with some dishsoap in the sink with hot water or whatever, idk i have to do that like once every few years
Hot water is needed to kill the pin worm eggs.
Stop sticking your dick into rectums
Do they even make laundry machines that actually fill up with water completely like this anymore? It's always water saving bullshit because commiefornia thinks the rest of the world lives in a desert like they do.
It’s not a desert, a lot of the filler or “thickener” in liquid laundry detergent is actually salt, so they they can just use salt water to wash with and stop shipping uneconomical water-based or dry filler-based detergents. It’s like 95 times heavier than it needs to be.
Also most hotwater lines aren’t hot enough to fry an egg, do thread is mythbusted.
In what fourth world nation is this?? Here, in a western civilised country, we was with cold water that after protein removal ups the temperature so that oils and proteins are both flushed out.
You might want to take a shower a bit more often then once a month.
Water saving is te norm also in Europe.
Yes. I dump the washwater into my compost heap to keep it moist, works well. The biological activity also eats the micro fibers.
pro tip: buy trisodium phosphate and add it to your detergent. the most important thing it does is precipitate calcium / magnesium in water, which otherwise produce scum residue with detergent.
also it's very basic and will saponify oils but that's not as important. you can mix it with bleach too and get a stronger bleaching action but it's really nasty on skin so don't get it on your skin.
(they) took phosphates out of detergents because it causes algal blooms because the wastewater treatment plants don't effectively remove phosphates from wastewater, and phosphates are the P in the NPK of fertilizer.
that's also the source of most of the phosphates in runoff. agriculture, not your washing machine, but it's easier to get manufacturers to stop putting phosphates in detergent than stopping farmers from fertilizing or making wastewater plants deal with it.
anyway, my clothes are ultra clean ever since i started and i'm never stopping. frick em. not my problem. kill em all.
Or if you dump your washwater down the hill, does that count as fertilizer?
Based. TSP used to be a component of lots of detergents before the ban.
Phosphates being the cause of algal blooms is dumb anyway. What we got in stead of phosphates were all kinds of chemical shit that is way worse for the water supply. Killing of all kinds of life and messing up the balance. So instead of green algae, we get something way worse and now have toxic swimming water all over Europe in the summer.
Put vinegar in your laundy
Soak extra grimey smelly clothes like gym clothes in vinegar water before you wash it
Now you can stop worrying about detergent and water temperature
All you have to worry about is (a) smelling like vinegar, and (b) your clothes are still dirty because vinegar doesn’t have any of the magical properties the vinegar cultists think it has.
It rinses out you tards
ohh yes I sure love smelling kinda like a pickle
What about borax and/or sodium carbonate (washing soda)?
> sodium carbonate/borax work?
I don’t know how well they work, but a good indicator of how well it works is if it’s banned or not. Table:
Banned : works well.
Available : doesn’t work for shit.
Example. Lead paint.
Extremely high-hide, impervious to UV (and radiation), mould and mildew resistant for decades. Status? Banned.
Yeah it also makes you moronic.
Yeah, if you eat it. Quick reference:
Don’t eat it : not moronic.
Eat it : moronic.
Oh, by the way, it’s a specific kind of moronation: it makes you a violent criminal apparently, perhaps that explains the penchant for guns and lead bullets. Maybe D.U. rounds are healthier.
Full schizo.
The hot wayer isn't hot enough yo denture anything.
The cold is used because it's cheaper.
The detergent does all the work
Frick the brits for mandating it though.
>The detergent does all the work
wrong
