Just to verify: the 'colors' setting on a washer is COLD, right?

Asked by ImNotHere (444points) August 31st, 2011

Hey all,

I’m at my boyfriend’s and just threw a bloodstained duvet cover in the wash to lift the last tiny trace of stain after getting most out with baking soda and organic shampoo. Unfortunately, his washer is kind of confusing with its labels. Instead of being clearly labeled ‘hot’, ‘cold’ etc. it has settings like ‘whites’, ‘colors’, ‘delicates’ and so forth…

I put it in with some other laundry under colors thinking it would be cold and that the whites setting would likely be hot. I hope I was right because if not, I’m running the risk of permanently setting the stain or worse yet, running the colors all over each other. Yikes!
