In general, you can get most things clean with a cold or tepid wash. I suspect not boating grease (or grease generally) if you are using a non-polluting washing powder/liquid like Ecover.
If someone in the family has a mold or dust mite sensitivity, 55 deg or hotter wash is required, eg of sheets. I learned this week that if one washes only with cold water, black mold and stuff eventually grows in the washer, and one should do at least 1 hot wash per month to keep it in check.
