The rule of thumb I was taught over 50 years ago was colors in cold and whites in hot.
Seems to still be true.

Procter & Gamble funded a study of wash cycle length that found colder and shorter is better for clothes. Duh.

I think all of my clothes have been “cold wash” for many years now. I don’t get really dirty very often. It’s not like the old days of dirt and sweat. It’s more like getting the dust off.

I will sleep so much better tonight knowing this old truism is now borne out by real science.

As soon as I see “science says” in a title, I prepare myself to see something stupid.

I wash everything in cold all year long, except for a few times where I’ll separate my whites and wash them in hot.
My clothes last for years.

My thought is what reason would the cabal have to make us think it’s better to wash clothes in cold water. I have an idea or two.
The truth is probably the opposite.
To: Red Badger
Fabric dye density and lifespan is separate from issues like germs and bacteria in the wash.And the more heat the better for germs and bacteria - and soiling.
SOAK because agitation wears fabric. Cold is fine for a quick freshening, but warm to hot cleans better.

Except in the winter, our well water is about 50.
I use the warm cycle.

Longer lasting cloths? No thanks.
I’m still wearing jeans and T-shirts that I bought in the 1990s. I wish they’d wear out so I would have to go shopping.;-)

Remember this 2016 ad
From AI:
A commercial for Qiaobi laundry detergent showed a Chinese woman putting laundry into a machine, then a Black man with paint splatters appearing. She stuffs the detergent into his mouth, shoves him into the washing machine, and then a clean, fair-skinned Asian man emerges.

My wife swears most wear comes from drying. She dries on low and hangs to finish.
Of course, we live in a desert where a wet pair of blue jeans will dry in 30 minutes.

OK so your cloths will last longer, but sport ground-in dirt and bacteria - a greenies delight.

It seems obvious that cold, short cycles will reduce wear and tear on clothes. It also seems obvious that it will result in less effective cleaning of those clothes.

"found colder and shorter is better for clothes"
Well, DUH... we've known that since.. forever?!>.

What the soap manufacturers are NOT telling you is that “cold” wash is *NOT* straight tap cold.
“Cold” wash means 65*F. That’s about 18*C. That’s why so many washers now have a “cold” setting AND a “tap cold”. The “cold” setting mixes hot water with the tap cold to warm it to 65*
