Do you think washing clothes in cold water cleans as well as hot water?

Why It Matters

Heating water uses a lot of energy, so limiting the amount of water that needs to be heated in your home can save money on your energy bills. If your clothes come out just as clean by only using cold water, then that’s an easy money-saving win.
