yes it's true it works at 30 degree most of the time though a lot of my cloths are dry clean(I rarely use dry cleaners) or hand wash in warm water (I must admit hand wash items are often found in a machine wash for delicate it's only the truly delicate or dry clean items that get the hand wash treatment) quite a relaxing chore using Eco hand wash detergent...then pop it on a hanger leave in the shower cubical and it drip drys by the time Is home from work the next day the best part is no ironing!

A friend of a friend experimented with using no detergent in her wash. Apparently she couldn't detect any difference between those loads and clothes washed with detergent!

I'd love to do this but my machine only goes as low as 40 degrees and as I live in rented accommodation and the machine is owned by the landlord there's not a lot I can do!

I read this piece of advice somewhere else. The other piece was about taking shower with just a little bit colder water. Then, day by day, you can save quite a sum of money :)

As an extra benefit, remembering to wash at 30° means my I'm less likely to shrink my lovely new jumper or shirt.
