Stručnjaci upozoravaju: Pranje veša na niskim temperaturama može biti opasnije nego što mislite
Pranje veša na niskim temperaturama može delovati ekološki i štedljivo, ali stručnjaci upozoravaju da ovakva praksa može ozbiljno ugroziti zdravlje vaše porodice. Veš na temperaturama od 30°C ili 40°C ne uništava bakterije, uključujući opasnu E. coli, i zato ne sme da se koristi za odeću, peškire, posteljinu i, posebno, dečju odeću.
TL;DR
- Low-temperature washing (30°C-40°C) does not kill bacteria like E. coli.
- Bacteria can survive and multiply below 60°C, spreading to other clothes.
- Items like baby clothes, towels, and bedding are particularly vulnerable.
- Washing at 60°C or higher is recommended for critical laundry items.
- White and durable laundry can be washed at 90°C for maximum safety.
- Regular machine cleaning (e.g., monthly at 90°C with vinegar) is advised.
- Quickly drying laundry, preferably with high heat, also helps kill bacteria.
