At what temperature should you wash your clothes?

The answer to this question fully depends on the fabric that you’re dealing with, which is why you should always check the garment care tag beforehand. Thanks to the advance formula of Surf excel Liquid Detergent, this product works as well for cold temperatures as it does for warm ones, so all you need to do is set the washing machine to the right temperature.

Separate your whites

Wondering how to wash white shirts? For a fail-safe way to keep whites white and colours vibrant, always remember to separate your laundry into similar colours. Once you’ve collected enough of one colour, all you need to do is set your machine to the right cycle. Bright colour washes can best be kept at a low temperature, while whites benefit from a slightly warmer programme – just check the label.
