There is a stonger argument for a washing machine having a hot fill as
they use around 55 litres of water for a wash - but that's something to

Yep, stored ho****er is normally 60C plus, far too hot for the normal
40C wash. You don't really want protien based stains/marks getting
too hot either or they'll denature and be a right begger to shift.
