Hygiene - Cold wash, No bleach bedding

Blackbeard_of_Perranporth

Underwear, bedding. 60C. No bleach ever. Kills germs. No problem.

Ask why the fraidy cats are telling you to wash at 30C. And add oxygenating bleach into the wash that is more harmful, than using a little hot water already heated, to for the wash!

End of and tomorrow the world will still be here.

Would you eat chicken that had only achieved a temperature of 60C?

Oxygen bleach is pretty much harmless. It turns into oxygen, water and soda crystals.

And you obviously don't know how many children Pigpen has and I'm pretty certain they weren't test tube ones

That's a pretty daft comparison tbh

Whilst I'm here,do tell my septic tank that all these things being sold by the supermarkets, endorsed by the machine manufacturers that all is good. Then come clean my tank out and take huge lumps of solid powders from it.

I heard Ruth Goodman interviewed a while ago and she said that she hasn't used anything but water in her washing machine for years and that her clothes come out clean.

She also said that the drains don't get blocked up any more and the clothes soften after several washes as the residues get removed.

How is it a daft comparison? You cook chicken to a certain temperature to kill the bacteria. And 60C doesn't quite cut it, why would you assume that temperature is killing everything in your laundry?

I can't speak for manufactures and products, but as I've said, oxygen bleach is harmless and safe for use with septic tanks. Actually, added directly to the septic tank the oxygen it breaks down into helps the bacteria do their jobs. Obviously that doesn't necessarily apply to anything else that is bundled with oxygen bleach into a marketable product.

Sous virde cooks at 60oC and is perfectly safe

Solids not dissolved in a septic tank cause blockages. Whilst the oxygen bleach may be safe for the organisiams needed in one, it clumps and blocks the tiny filter holes on the outlet pipes stopping the fluids going through the filtration process

But that's not what this discussion is about so I shall bow out

I've just got up from my clean sheets, checked my kegs and turned them inside out for this week!

Now I'm going to cook my sticky chicken!
