Can I ask a very stupid question about washing temps?

[MrsRobertDuvall]

I was most of my things on 30 degrees bar towels.
if an item says on its label wash at 40 degrees, will it be detrimental to wash it at 30?

[AuntieMonica]

the wash label is for MAX temp, as long as it doesn't mention no soaking (ie with buckles etc) it will be fine

[RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles]

Nope - the 40 degrees is a suggested TOP temp. I wash everything at 30 apart from sheets, towels and jeans.

[RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles]

Hahahahaha AuntieM!

I doubt 10 degrees can make much, if any, difference.

As long as the stuff looks clean and smells clean, then it's clean isn't it?

I was asking as I returned a jumper today which has gone felt-like after one wash, and the assistant asked me how I had washed it.
I lied of course

I beg to differ suzikettles - 10 degrees can make all the difference - just might be the adjustment you need to hit the right spot
