There’s a good chance that whoever taught you to dolaundrymay have given you some bad advice.
And Forte isn’t the only expert recommending the cold cycle for colors.
Plus, the high-temp water may shrink certain fabrics.

Another great reason to choose a cold cycle?
It’s more energy efficient.
So the less hot water used, the more energy and money on utilities you save.

Then it’s up to your washing machine to act “cool” and do its thing.
