Laundry Lady's Hot Tips: The Perfect Wash Temperature

Laundry Lady's Hot Tips: What Temperature Should You Wash Your Clothes? In a recent video posted on social media, Ann Russell, a cleaner from the United Kingdom, shared her expertise on laundry temperatures. The video, which has already garnered thousands of views, tackles a common household question: what temperature setting is best for different types of laundry? Russell explains that for proper sanitization, a wash temperature of 60 degrees Celsius or higher is essential. "If you want to sanitize, you must do 60 or above," she states in the video. Lower temperatures, such as 40 and 30 degrees, are sufficient for a warm wash, but won't kill all germs. She also reveals her use of a 90-degree intensive wash, though she notes that this is more energy-intensive and can damage the elastic in certain garments. This higher temperature is reserved for items needing more thorough cleaning, such as her son's white socks. The video has sparked a discussion on the most efficient and effective laundry practices. Russell's approachable style and practical advice have made her video a hit, demonstrating the ongoing interest in simple yet effective household tips.
