Only use hot for whites, warm for lights and cold the rest.
I bleach the whites on occassion and use clorox 2 for almost all others except jeans & darks.
Also occassionally use dishwasher detergent to soak the whites in hot.
I usually don't use fabric softner & I spray & wash/shout where needed.
Wow, that sounds complicated. :lol
ETA: Sheets also get sorted for colors & textures. (cotton vs flannel & light vs dark) ;)
