I don't think 1 is correct, but haven't been inside a laundrette for
many a year.
The microbiologist on this boat is unhappy with cold washing. It
certainly doesn't kill small parasites like mites and bed bugs - all
you get are clean bed bugs at less than 60 wash.
She has trouble believing that 50 or 100 ml of detergent diluted in
25 litres of water will kill bacteria at cold wash temps, and it's
the bacteria that cause the niff.
All the best
