DESCRIPTION:
Washing with cold water is just as effective as washing with hot water, and saves loads(ha) of energy, money and emissions!
It used to be that detergents only worked with hot water, then they were formulated for hot water because that's what everyone was used to. But now detergent manufacturers know how they can reduce emissions and how you can save money by washing cold, so all the machines and detergents are formulated to work that way.
It's time to switch to a cold/cold wash if you haven't already. And as a bonus - your clothes will last longer and keep their color longer!
P.S. SaveOhno will "go dark" around noon on Sunday. The Leaderboard will go away until after the competition is complete on Monday night (11:59 PM). We know you care about who "wins", and that's good. It's also good to focus on what is actually getting done, and what we can do to SaveOhno. Look out for more actions to complete before it is all over. Good luck!
