I’ve said this before. Suggest you do the dishes for a week. Your wife will appreciate and you’ll learn something. SH doesn’t do squat for dirt. Odds are she washes the clothes in warm water too, whether using bleach or not. By using warm water I can cut my bleach by about 25–30% which basically offsets cost of fuel for the burner.
Warm water helps most soaps to be more effective and though some of the newer laundry soaps have enzymes that will help loosen soils in cold water, most that we would use don’t. As far as disinfecting with SH, it will do that equally with cold or hot water. But as far as any cleaning SH will do, it’s more effective at warmer temps. Even Clorox suggests for maximum cleaning, stain and soil removal to use hot water. Can you clean w/o hot water, sure. But in most cases you’ll get a better cleaning with warmer water. It’s the nature of the beast. In warmer water the molecules move faster which creates energy and helps separate the dirt as as well as the water molecules themselves being able to hold more dissolved solids and carry them away. I won’t go into all the thermodynamics and kinetics involved. You can do your own research.
Using warm water can seriously increase your season and for some guys that could be important. Many homeowners have the misconception that they can’t get their homes cleaned effectively when it’s cold.
It does feel better when it’s cold and windy to get sprayed with 100 deg water than 40 deg water, lol.
Thomas, I do suggest that before you accuse someone of using a dishonest marketing tool that you truly learn the facts you’re talking about.
Here is the ad we used:
Do you take cold showers? - Do you wash your dishes with cold water?

I mentioned it in a post above, but just wanted to reach out and make sure you saw personally…I apologize for the use of the word dishonest in my post. You’ve been a great help to me and many others, and have asked nothing in return. I absolutely didn’t mean to insult you. Thank you for the reply.
Warm water definitely cleans faster even in summer. I proved that to myself on a vinyl fence. Using warm water cut the cleaning time in almost half. I was surprised how well it worked. I can also extend my season by a month or more using warm water. It just takes too long to clean some of the houses completely covered in algae when real cold. I also advertise warm water washes. Can you clean a house without warm water? Sure you can. Does warm water clean better? It sure does and it’s a fact. I don’t use it all the time except on concrete.
Actually yes. You should really only used soap occasionally to wash off. Biologically speaking, you kill of a lot of good bacteria that your body needs if you use soap everyday. Pits, junk, and trunk.
I got into the habit of showering twice daily in my mid 20’s till now. 5:30am (to wake me up) and 9pm sharp to go to bed clean, (I was a sheetmetal fabricator by trade), I have roughly 22,000 showers worth of data under my belt soaping twice a day. I’ve never had my doctor pull me up on it lol
I do, and I shower every morning. During the week I’ll clean houses after work and shower again when I get home. My skin is still as smooth as a babies bottom and absolutely flawless
Truthfully, that’s not enough empirical data to make an informed hypothesis. Industry standard is 22,145 showers before any type of learned assumptions can be entertained.
Now we are talking about warm water. I hope that still means a hot water machine for the sake of clarity. Because the water that comes out of the hose here (S. Florida) is warm. I’m still trying to figure out the scientific & technical differences between “cold” water i.e whatever comes out of the hose & a hot water machine. But there is no freezing pipes & freezing cold water in my area.
Hot water melts grease,dirt and soot , this ain’t rocket science fellas we wash trucks for a living and we absolutely have to run hot water unless the water source is above 80 ish, The cons are hot water machines are expensive and a PITA to maintain. Imo if a hot water machine is purchased its better to get one with the 120v AC generator , the 12v DC units are even more of a pita. But us truck washers and commercial washers must have one ,or stupid me 4 to compete in the market,
. Our chemicals just plain work better.
And I hope @MuscleMyHustle moisturizes on a daily, 2 showers a day probably turns his old farty skin into a pruned raisin.
