A recent poll conducted by Australian eco-friendly laundry brand, Hudstone, revealed that 56% of customers prefer to wash their clothes with cold water, while 8% opt for hot water, and 36% use both.



Washing clothes with cold water has a host of benefits, including energy savings, color retention, and fabric preservation. Cold water washing is also more eco-friendly, as it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve natural resources.

"As a brand committed to sustainability, we're thrilled to see that more than half of our customers are making the eco-friendly choice to wash their clothes with cold water," said Davis. "Not only does this save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it also helps to preserve the quality and lifespan of your clothes."

Customers commented that their most common reason for choosing cold water was for the energy savings, also noting that they prefer cold water to help preserve the colours of their clothes and fabric.
