Cool water washes lead to bacteria in washer

[gelaundry4ever]

the only time I use cold water

is when I wash any dark colors or blues or reds. Everything else gets a warm or hot wash with bleach if they're light colors or whites. I want my whites perfectly white! And I do use a reasonable amount of laundry detergent, bleach and fabric softener. I use pods.

Claro, former maker of Miele tabs, sell a Hygiene tab that releases 180 ppm of PPA into one liter of wash water.

Old topic, but this caught my attention. I was looking for a PPA based laundry sanitizer with a sporicidal strength (e.g. pet fungal infection fabrics cleanup), but could not find anything for home use. So I checked this out.

Not sure where the 180ppm comes from, it's not on the Claro website.

Also, you would need dozens of tablets for a 30-40 gallon washer to achieve a necessary ppm for a sporicidal effect. This is a small dishwasher tablet.

So back to search. It would be good to have some similar add-on product to drop in your washer to release a higher count of PPA ppm. I think the ppm released by Oxy powder detergents are miniscule, for the purpose of some bacterial reduction but not anywhere near needed for sanitation.
