[quote=spdrun]Kills bacteria? Removes stains? Boils Ebola viruses to death?[/quote]

Yes, spdrun’s nailed it.

Years ago, one of our kids got a MRSA infection. The doctor told us to wash all of her bedding and clothing in the hottest water possible in order to kill the germs. The doctor said she did it with all of her own laundry. I’ve been washing everything in HOT ever since.

Of course, there is nothing like hot water to get rid of many stains, too. It just cleans better.
