I always wash in cold water figuring it keeps the fabrics newer longer, costs less to run it and does the job.

But I read in my magazine called Parenting that this will NOT kill dust mites. WHAT? It said washing in warm will only kill 7% of mites and to kill ALL the mites you must wash sheets in hot water. So I guess I'll switch to that.

But my first question is....and they won't drown in the wash? Wow those are hardy creatures.
