Not necessarily! Washing at 40°C remains suitable for low-selling clothes and everyday textiles. It offers a good compromise between cleanliness, colour preservation and energy consumption.
However, to ensure better hygiene:
- Add a laundry disinfectant ( white vinegar, antibacterial essential oils or specific products ).
- Ventilate your washing machine well after each use to prevent bacteria from proliferating in the drum.
- Wash at high temperature at least once a month to clean your machine and prevent bad odors.
The right choice according to the type of linen
| Type of linen | Recommended temperature |
| Underwear, towels, sheets | 60°C |
| Sportswear or very dirty clothes | 60°C |
| Lightly soiled everyday clothing | 30-40°C with a good detergent |
| Delicate textiles (wool, silk) | 30°C or special program |
In conclusion
Washing at 40°C is not a bad habit, but it is not always the best option to guarantee perfectly clean and hygienic laundry. For optimal cleaning, adapt the temperature to the nature of the laundry and use the right products.
