IIRC Warm Rinses 
Began vanishing with the energy crisis of 1970's. Haven't seen a modern washer in ages that offered "warm".
That being said do know such option exists for commercial and or domestic washing machines. That and or final rinse water is tempered for various reasons. SQ washers at local laundromat send hot water into fabric softener dispenser, while cold goes down other side. One assumes this is to ensure the more gloppy products dissolve well in rinse water. Think only issue with hard towels and rinsing in cold (or very) water would come from using powdered detergents, and or laundering with water that has high mineral content. Either way could cause deposits to be "trapped" in textile fibers. | ||

 Calypso has a warm spray in the final spin if selected. My 2003 WP gold has a Warm/Warm (non-ATC) selection. Fisher & Paykel models with a Woolens cycle run a rinse at the same temp as the wash (choice of Cold, Warm/Cold (tepid), or Warm (assuming the rinse is full-warm, I haven't checked it to confirm). | ||

Other than perhaps dealing with tap water in winter that could be *very* cold, only other reason can think of for warm rinses was when soap still reigned queen of wash day.
Know by the 1970's you still had some pure soap products still out there (Ivory Snow), but energy crisis over ruled concerns I shouldn't wonder. Besides don't think soap for laundry sales were really that much to worry about by then. Recall reading old issues of Consumer Reports from 1980's and they assured housewives that rinsing in cold water not only saved energy; but gave same results as using warm water. They went on to say even allowing for extra energy used by dryers to initially warm cold rinsed laundry, it still was cheaper than using warm water for rinsing. | ||
