Wash Temp/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier and more comfortable to handle
than cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase wrinkling.
