THURSDAY NIGHT LAUNDRY LAB IS IN SESSION!

When does warm water actually help? Cold water works well for most everyday laundry, especially with modern detergents. But warm water still has its place. Warm water can help loosen oily or greasy soils and can help powdered detergent dissolve more completely.

But warmer isn’t automatically better. Heat can contribute to fading and shrinking in some fabrics, and some stains, especially blood and other protein-based stains, are better started in cold water.

The best rule? Check the care label and think about what you’re trying to wash before you pick the temperature.

Come on in, we’re glad you’re here.😊

A little local love 💛

We picked up some new Unity gear to wear around RFF, made by a super talented local maker, NoodleBird Design, right here in our community.

She does such a great job, has the cutest stuff, and we’re always happy when we can support someone local. Check out a few of our new pieces. Thanks for keeping us looking cute at the laundromat!

So when should you actually hit COLD?

Cold water is a solid choice for a lot of everyday laundry especially dark and bright colors, delicates and items that aren't heavily soiled.

A few reasons why:
💧Cold is easier on color. Cooler water can help reduce fading, bleeding and dye transfer.
👕It's easier on some fabrics. Cold water can reduce the risk of shrinking and is commonly recommended for delicate items.
🩸Some stains actually need cold water. Blood is a good example, hot water can set a blood stain. The American Cleaning Institute recommends starting fresh blood stains in cold water.
⚡It uses less energy. The American Cleaning Institute reports that about 90% of the energy used by a washing machine during laundry can go toward heating the water.
🧪And yes, detergent can work in cold water. Today's detergent formulations are designed to clean effectively at lower temperatures.

But here's the important part: **Cold isn't always better.**

Soil type, fabric, stains, detergent, cycle choice and the care label all matter.

Next Laundry Lab: **WARM WATER.**
