16.11.13 Anti Bacterial Bollocks




How is it that after using washing machines for decades, we're now told we need another ingredient to ensure cleanliness?  Obvious the manufacturers of various liquids have steered us towards liquids and gels in place of powder, and have encourages use of various fabric softeners as well.  Ignoring the anti-static sheets and the scoops of Vanish that we really ought to be using as well, I'd say there was little need for further direction from the CIC.

It seems I am wrong, and that there has been a price to pay for us all washing at lower temperatures.  Yes, after the CIC nudged us all down the path of washing at 40 degrees, we ,ay have been saving energy and helping the planet, but it was not all good news.  Apparently, despite the claims and advertisements that washing at low temperatures did not compromise cleanliness, they were lying.  It did not stop them, though, pushing us on to wash at 30 degrees or even lower!  Meanwhile the nasty bacteria were having such fun.

Yes folks, your efforts to wash at lower temperatures, conserve energy and save the planet now mean that bacteria are not dealt with properly, and despite your £4.50 for twenty washes to get stuff brilliantly white, you'll now need another £4.50 to get rid of 99.99% of bacteria.

I have a solution, which is much simpler: save the environment from millions more plastic bottles and yourself from unnecessary expense.  Take one of the following three courses:

1 - Carry on with 40 degree washes and ignore the supposed bacteria scare.
2 - Go back to 60 degree washes.
3 - Buy only white clothes and bleach the fuck out of everything; that'll kill the bacteria

What a con, all this scaremongering is.
