Green plan to wash clothes in cold water

AdelaideNow... Green plan to wash clothes in cold water: "'By switching to a cold wash, you can cut 80-90 per cent off the running costs of doing a load of washing, and reduce your water heating by almost 10 per cent.'"

I disagree. The cold water washing powders are very strong and the clothes simply are not clean. When you run them through a warm wash with some decent washing liquid/powder the clothes are better, last longer, look better and the water is more environmentally friendly. I think the trick is to get people to use front loaders which are more efficient with their use of water.
