Clothes that can be washed at 60 degrees?

[User1055]

We have had the letter about returning to school and it has been suggested we should wear fresh clothes each day and to wash our workwear at 60 degrees.
Has anyone got anything they wash at 60 without trashing it? All the care labels in mine say 30 or 40.

Towels and bedding I do at 60. Anything that’s been worn during illness (such as DDs pjs when she’s been sick) I will do at 60. Everything else is usually done at 40 and occasionally 20. I have the dettol cleanser and usually add that to the first wash on anything I’ve picked up from charity shops or again if people have been ill I use it washing their clothes/ bedding / towels etc.
I have a tumble dryer and use it when it’s wet out so the heat from that will also kill any germs or viruses left behind.

anything cotton can be washed at 60.
but tbh, I would (and do!) wash at 40 with bio powder, using the long cotton cycles. the action of the drum turning and the garments rubbing at each other with soapy water is what washes dirt and germs away. plus chose a cycle with at least 3 rinses or 'water plus' to rinse off as much detergent as possible.
dry quickly, ideally on a line outside or in a dryer.
