Always cold water for everything. Separate colors from any whites you want to stay white. Check known stains as you take them out, and rewash any that remain before you dry those items. Anything new gets one wash by itself unless you love the color so much you want your entire wardrobe to be that shade.

Never done any of that, can’t say I’ve ever had any issues.

Same but my whites look like Soviet concrete

So, you never wash in cold?

Hot water (and warm bc it contains hot) carries more contaminants and wastes energy and sets protein stains

But hey, do as you will, it's your wash.

Washing cold tends to leave traces of the detergents in the fabrics though, so beware of that if anyone has a tendency to get skin reactions

Most people use too much detergent
