Yet another ? about washing the clothes...

I know not to use fabric softener, I have Dreft or All Free & Clear and no bleach BUT my other questions are:

1-Hot, Warm or Cold water? I'm guessing warm???

2-White and colors together???

I heard that cold water is best for removing soap so I assume it would remove chemicals best too. For the first wash I use cold, then warm or hot depending on how soiled.

C r a p...DH used warm and we put it all together. It's not the worst thing, nothing ran thank goodness and all came out well. In the future though, I think I will do cold! Thanks ladies! Chat Icon
