Sorting

The sorting clothes determine to wash with hot water and based on various factors, such as:

Color

Sorting between white and colored clothing (light and dark) will facilitate and simplify the washing procedure while limiting the impact on the fabric quality. When washing dark clothing, use cold or warm water between 15 and 27 degrees Celsius. It guarantees the color of dark clothing. You shouldn't use hot water on black clothing since it will make the fabric fade. You can use hot water that is between 30 and 60 degrees Celsius to wash light clothing.
