Šta od bakterija preživi pranje na 40 stepeni: Stručnjaci otkrivaju
Pranje veša na niskim temperaturama – 30 ili 40 stepeni – postalo je standard u mnogim domaćinstvima. Eko programi štednje energije i deterdženti koji obećavaju čistoću u hladnoj vodi čine ovakav način pranja primamljivim. Ipak, pitanje koje sve češće postavljaju stručnjaci glasi: koliko je to zaista higijenski?
TL;DR
- Low-temperature washing (30-40°C) is common for energy savings, but may not be hygienic.
- Bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus can survive cold water washes.
- Risk of bacterial transmission increases with certain clothing types and in households with children or immunocompromised individuals.
- Underwear, towels, and bedding should be washed at 60°C for better hygiene.
- Washing machines can become breeding grounds for bacteria if not properly maintained, requiring periodic high-temperature cleaning.
- Energy saving and hygiene can be balanced by washing less sensitive items at lower temperatures and sensitive items at higher temperatures.
