Is it better for your clothes to be washed at a high temp or low?

Question

my babys clothes never clean properly and was wondering if to change the temp on my washer, does it wash better at a high temp? will it damage my clothes? im not planning on doing this all the time just for really dirty clothes

Answer 1

I usually go with something in between.

Answer 2

I usually go by the labels on the cloths

Answer 3

well here's the difference:

cold water keeps clothes colors from bleeding & keeps stains from transferring onto other clothes.

warm/hot water gets stains out better for most things, but some fabrics can't go in hot water because they shrink.

Answer 4

Don't use powder anything on babys clothes get liquid. wash on a warm temp add softner with the liquid soap to the wash cycle itself then to the rinse as well.  Also make sure if it's a nasty stain pour some liquid soap on the spot 5 min before you put it to wash.

Answer 5

either the washer or your cleaning product

Answer 6

I would wash baby's clothes in very hot water.

My own clothes I wash in cold water because I don't want them to shrink or fade but my mother has always told me that very hot water will get it cleaner.
