What temperature kills all germs when you wash your clothes:
In recent years, laundry detergents have performed well in cleaning dirt, even at very low temperatures, but this is not necessarily the case. Because we do not wash clothes only for dirt but also to neutralize germs.
According to experts, washing with cold water should be avoided, especially in underwear, because it creates the right environment for the growth of bacteria. In fact, according to a study, the reduction of germs is marginally smaller compared to those that exist when they are unwashed. Experts say that clothes should be washed at 60-70 degrees Celsius to kill germs.
Of course, there are some categories of clothes, which the washing instructions say should not exceed 40 degrees Celsius because otherwise the fabric is damaged. In this case, very good spreading and exposure of the clothes to the sun is required, while they also need very good ironing.
