Opinions on 15° Laundry Liquids

Hi, I'm looking to change my laundry detergent. I quite like the smell of one of the fairly new gel-style liquids that claims to clean at 15°C. It's on offer right now, at a reasonable price. However I noticed it is biological. I gave up on biological liquids years ago because they used to eat holes in my clothes. Can anyone report on the new gels - how well they work, do they work at 15°, and do you now have holes in your clothes?
Thanks
:)

  • They work. They work on cold washes. No I don't have holes in my clothes.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • I'd be concerned about effective cleaning of bedlinen, tea towels and towels etc at such a low temperature. Good Housekeeping Institute recommends a higher washing temperature for these types of items.

    Is there a washing machine available that will actually run at this temperature?
