Cold-Water Washer by Whirlpool

[launderess]

Since this thread was resurrected from the dead....

Cold water only washing machines are not exactly new nor novel idea. Many washing machines sold in Asia are cold fill only. This applies to Japan and few other places where not only do top loading impeller washers of all sorts hold major market share, but again they are usually cold fill only.

Japan has a whole vast and bewildering array of laundry detergents, bleaches and so forth designed to work in cold water. They also sell huge amounts of washing machine "cleaners" and "disinfectants" designed to cope with what happens when using cold water only...

I have a feeling...

that this stupid wash of everything in cold water will continue as long as these "energy advocates" are in charge. It's all about money. They don't care if your clothes are clean. I do care.
Let me wash the way I want. I will wash in cold when I want to! That is for darks! Period! Lights get warm, whites get hot with bleach. Period. I use fabric softener with deep rinse for everything. Period.
I am so sick and tired of machines that dumb down the temps. That is so stupid!

Don't hold your breath.

Don't hold your breath. There's gonna be a new crop of cold water washers that are being forced onto us whether we like it or not. I don't like washing everything in cold water. Sturdy cotton darks or delicates need cold water washing and to treat protein stains like blood. Rinsing in cold is fine.
