Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I never use anything but cold, have done so for 30+ years. Never have a problem.
The options hot/cold are not present on washing machines in Europe, and instead you get these temperature gradings, generally they go from 30 °C to 90 °C. All water is collected from the cold water line and then heated inside the washing machine itself.
Since 30 °C is the lowest the machines usually go, we can't even wash in cold water even if we want to. Kind of a pity.
My washing machine has a wheel to select multiple, heat-specific programs but also has a "cold" switch for other programs. I seldom use the heat specific ones, unless I'm particularly interested in a hot wash.
So I guess that the mileage may vary by country (I'm in Spain) and how old a washing machine is (mine is quite old).
Mine is cold, cold/hot, hot. Actual temp depends on the water heater setting.
That’s really all I do for lights or darks
