You’re supposed to wash clothes??????? I just throw them away and buy new ones to help Barry revive the economy!
So these people that wash their clothes in cold water are dropping like flies? More global warming type hype.

I’m guessing the drying temperature isn’t addressed because they’re using evaporative dryers. Those were tried here in the United States but uniformly rejected by the buying public as they took forever to dry the clothes.
I read an article reporting that in 1995 Consumer Reports said all washers did an excellent job cleaning clothes. But that virtually none of the modern front loading washers did an adequate job. Consumer Reports said for the most part the modern washers added cold water to the cycle to fill the washer even when you wanted hot water.
BTW, the energy efficient washers and dryers are more than twice the cost of older washers that work. I’ve been trying to make my ancient 1995 pair last and last. If I must buy new I’ll connect hot water to both inputs.
I wouldn't worry about line drying. All the way around that's a non-issue, but not having high enough wash temps, especially for towels, sheets and kitchen items, is.
This is patently ridiculous. I have washed clothes in cold water for years with NO problems. It depends on what you add to the water to get them clean.
PS Many of our ancestors used cold water too.
Yeah, makes me think someone is trying to sell something by causing more fear and mass hysteria.
There is not a single person on Earth who does not have MORE BUGS in ONE ARMPIT than 1000 loads of washed clothes put together.
I HATE these people! Aren’t there any roads that need garbage pickup? Can’t they go down on the border and keep an eye open? Do something useful?
Jeesh....
Cold water and bleach do not kill the bacteria? They’re sure about this?
It is not so much the washing machines that are making people sick, as it is the ‘eco-friendly’ rationing schemes. We must suffer so that the planet can prosper.
The oxygen-type bleaches (sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate) such as Clorox 2 also do a great job of killing stuff, especially at higher temperatures, though they’re not usually sold that way.
I dissolve all bleaches in a couple gallons of water and pour that in direct at the appropriate time. Avoids problems.
Nobody’s probably happy to hear it, but ironing with a steam-iron does a dandy job of sterilizing clothing.
