Both, Chet.
And I've found that doing 3 loads over the last few days with the "warm rinse" on, that my clothes come out with less issues than before.
The spray rinse has more "force" to pre-rinse the soap out, and the Downey softener dissolves better in the final deep "warm rinse".



Warm rinse relaxes fabrics rinsing out detergent better while dissolving fabric softner better.


Warm rinse should be used on all cycles except where wrinkling or very bright colors are involved.

Pierre, not strange at all. Warm rinse wash the norm before energy regulations and destination science made the claim that cold rinsing was just as effective as warm rinsing.

Truth be that depends. In some parts of the country water is near freezing during the winter. Cold water contracts fabrics making it difficult to pull detergent out.
 
Warm rinse as the norm was primarily related to use of soaps. It became less of a necessity with detergents.

And yet detergent manufacturers and laundry pundits tout washing in cold water so apparently it doesn't block detergent from getting in to fabric fibers? I recently missed a red/purple stain on a shirt. Or maybe it was a fresh stain. Dunno. Dabbed it with a stain remover product, left it for a couple days (the product dried-in). Scrubbed/rinsed it with a wet toothbrush, the stain lightened considerably but not fully removed. Mostly to see what'd happen, I left it at a bathroom sink for hours (may have been overnight) with only the stained area submerged in cold water with a bit of liquid detergent (Persil) added. Gone.

That is not to say I plan on switching to cold washing!
 
Back in the 1970s, I made a ghost costume for Halloween out of a white bedsheet.
It had glowing "eyes" with a 9volt battery that I could make blink with a switch in one arm.
I headed to a local bar and got Honorable Mention by the staff, who gave me free drinks!
Got drunk on red wine, and of course spilled some on the costume.
Mom told me to pour some whole milk on the stains, let it sit a while, then wash it.
Voila!.... that milk worked! - stain completely gone!
Apparently, the enzymes in milk are the secret.
