@macgenie 20 °C is cold, 30° is cool. Many detergents only work well at or above 30° (it’s usually written on the container). 40° is warm, and soaps usually work a little better, but it’s a little worse for colors. 60° is as high as you want to go for colors if you really need the heat (e.g. colored sheets and towels). 90° should only be used on whites.
