What Laundry Heat Settings Should You Choose? Here’s a Quick Guide for Delivery Customers

When scheduling a laundry pickup, you can choose heat settings for whites and colors. If you’re not sure which to pick, don’t worry—we’ve got a quick guide to help you make the right call. At Nashville Laundry Delivery, your clothes get customized care. Picking the right laundry heat settings helps protect your fabrics and get the best clean.

For White Wash Temperature: Cold, Warm, or Hot?

Cold is the safest for delicate whites or lightly soiled items. It helps prevent shrinking and keeps fabric fibers strong.
Warm is a solid middle ground—gentle on fabric but better at lifting stains and body oils.
Hot offers the most intense clean. Use it for sheets, towels, or filthy socks. It can help kill bacteria but may fade or shrink some fabrics.

For Color Wash Temperature: Low, Regular, or Hot?

Low is perfect for bright or dark colors. It helps prevent fading and protects synthetic or stretchy fabrics.
Regular works well for everyday laundry—think t-shirts, jeans, or activewear. It balances cleanliness and care.
Hot should be used only for tough stains or colorfast items. It’s great for sanitizing, but some colored fabrics can fade.

Make It Work for Your Laundry

Not all laundry is the same. That’s why we offer options in the app that allow you to select settings for whites and colors separately. This gives you control without lifting a finger.
