About this document
Energy Efficiency and Eco-Friendly Practices by Skif Dak is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses laundry washing temperatures and the effectiveness of removing allergens at different temperatures. It notes that while more people are washing clothes at lower temperatures to save energy, temperatures below 30°C may not fully remove dust mites and other allergens. Researchers found washing with biological detergent at 30°C only killed 6% of dust mites compared to 100% at 60°C. Detergent manufacturers still recommend occasional higher temperature washes to prevent bacteria growth.
