Bleach v temperature

We're being told to wash our clothes at 30 instead of 40 to save energy and £££s. I find that the occasional wash at 30 isn't a problem, but, with skanky teens, regularly washing at 30 results eventually in a manky, smelly washing machine. So I end up having to do a 95 wash more frequently.

I'm thinking that adding bleach to all or most 30 degree washes should counteract this problem. Chlorine bleach in whites and oxygen bleach in colours.

Does this sound sensible?

Due to allergies, I'm very limited in what laundry products I can use.

I use napisan with my whites, come out very clean and never need to clean the machine.
