The everdrop detergents are active at temperatures as low as 20 °C.
Our heavy-duty detergent is suitable for temperatures between 20 °C and 60 °C, our colour and mild detergent has been developed for temperatures between 20 °C and 40 °C and our sensitive heavy-duty detergent is suitable for wash cycles from 20 °C to 90 °C.
The colour detergent can also be used at 60 degrees. This provides slightly better hygiene due to the high temperature, but many coloured textiles do not tolerate the high temperature. (Textile damage / high proportion of synthetic fibres / heavy colour loss/damage) We would therefore not explicitly recommend it.
It is generally better for the environment to wash at low temperatures, which is why we recommend this whenever possible. It is advisable to wash at higher temperatures and with a heavy-duty detergent about once a month to maintain hygiene in the machine.
