Here’s another great video from our very own Portland General Electric.  I was surprised to  find out that washing your clothes in hot water is almost always as effective as washing in cold water.  The only time hot water is necessary is with wine stains!

But are clothes getting clean clean?  Like getting rid of bed bugs or a nasty virus?  Yes, because the dryer gets rid of all those things! Even hang drying works if the sun is out because it also heats up enough to kill all that gross stuff.  Pretty helpful information I thought, thanks PGE!
