Not necessarily!  Washing at 40°C remains suitable for low-selling clothes and everyday textiles. It offers a good compromise between cleanliness, colour preservation and energy consumption.

However, to ensure better hygiene:

• Add a laundry disinfectant ( white vinegar, antibacterial essential oils or specific products ).
• Ventilate your washing machine well  after each use to prevent  bacteria  from proliferating  in the drum.
• Wash at high temperature at least once a month  to clean your machine and prevent bad odors.

The right choice according to the type of linen

In conclusion

Washing at 40°C  is not a bad habit, but it is not always the best option to guarantee perfectly clean and hygienic laundry. For optimal cleaning, adapt the temperature to the nature of the laundry and use the right products.

So, are you ready to rethink the way you do laundry?
