Some of you have asked if your clothes really will get clean at 30 °C. Well, if you follow these ten washing tips from ido30.org, you can’t go wrong.

Ten good washing tips to get optimal results:

  1. Use a detergent suited for low-temperature wash
  2. Keep the lid/door to your washing machine open between washes to avoid malodour in the machine
  3. Wash full loads but do not overload
  4. Wash at 60 °C once a month to keep machines clean
  5. Follow the guidelines from the detergent manufacturer regarding proper use and dosing. Remember to dose according to the water hardness in your area
  6. Make sure your washing machine spins your clothes at the right speed during the spin cycle, i.e. don’t spin at a low rate just because you are using a low temperature
  7. Use short cycles for clothes that are not dirty but just need to be refreshed
  8. Always wash bedding, diapers and cleaning rags at 60 °C
  9. Line dry your clothes outside
  10. Remove the wet laundry from the washing machine when the wash is finished. Avoid leaving wet clothes in the machine for too long

There you have it. Piece of cake, right?
