I stopped the 30 degrees washes when my clothes came out stinking!!!!!!
Sweat is not removed at 30 degrees. Tell the story to someone who hasn't
tried it . Of course I dont use a bio washing power because its not
environmentally friendly, maybe thats the reason they stink at 30 degrees.
But stink they do. Give me a good clean boil wash any day.

The whole reason behind the popularity of low-temperature washing is the
development of "biological" washing powder, because - eco-friendly or
not - it's specifically desiged to work at low temperature. It contains
enzymes, which are proteins intended to break down dirt, and which work
at 'biological' temperatures (ie, circa 37 degrees). Use them above
that temperature, and the protein is destroyed, ergo it doesn't wsh
properly.
