My spouse has discovered enzymes that need hot water to activate and eat away at laundry stains. So we recently had our laundry sitting in a sous vide bath and everything came out super clean!
And in theory, laundry detergents like Tide should have those enzymes . . . yet they are telling us all to wash in cold water to save electricity/resources. 🤦
There’s enzymatic detergent too.
They are claiming that it works at lower temps - making energy savings possible. They are not telling you to save energy.
I do, though.
