Default Re: Cold water wash challenge

I was trying to use cold water for everything, but I noticed it doesn't wash as good. Now, that we installed tankless water heater, it would cost me less to use hot water. I use bleach only sometimes, and only if the whole load is completly white, no other light colors.

I started to use hot water, and noticed the results. I even took some really diry socks and underware, boiled it and it got really white, like new.

How much does it cost to heat the water for one load anyways? I have like 2 white loads a week, 8/month. So maybe $2 or $3/month. I save much more by not using the dryer.
