Anything above freezing ? there has been much debate about this and no proof so I am open to some real scientific tests. You do see more suds coming out of a drain hose when spray rinsing with warm water than cold but I think that is because warm water activates suds where as colder water suppresses suds but I don't think that this observation proves that warm water removes more detergent or dirt at this point in the washing process.
But with NO detergent manufacturer and NO washer manufacturer recommending anything but a COLD rinse I am going with HOT for washing and COLD for rinsing till there is some proof that this very costly and environmentally unfriendly warm rinse gets close to being worth wild. |

I would agree with Tom. Washing removes oils, soils, stains. Good rinsing with tempered cool water flushes them away. alr |
