I'm afraid to wash in cold water!

This is exactly how I wash.

I always use cold water. . .except for whites. I use hot water for whites because I use Oxyclean and it works better with hotter water.

I usually wash all of our clothes in cold water. I use the liquid soap from Aldis and put things like towels, sheets, underwear, and socks in the drier. I suppose the socks could be whiter, but then I could throw in some bleach once in a while, too. We're pretty casual with our clothes. We don't look like slobs or anything, but we just don't obsess over that area!

We do all clothes except whites on cold. Whites, towels, and sheets are done in hot. I use liquid detergent because I have had issues with the powdered before...
