Hubby prefers I wash all his clothes on cold so they last longer. But he ends up getting rid of them because it isn’t long before they are too stained to wear for anything but hard work.
I wash anything of mine that is white, khaki, light blue and some pastels in hot. My clothes last just fine and stay looking better, longer

My wife washes the clothes and I don’t know what she does, but seems like hot water would soften grease so the soap could work on it better. Also, hot water is thinner than cold water (lower viscosity) so it would penetrate better. That’s what I think, anyway.
