Comment on There should be a "last used combination" faucet handle for sinks so you don't have to balance hot and cold everytime during winter

  What I read is that cold water cleans just as well as warm water but uses less energy, therefore better for the planet overall.

  I agree it is more comfortable, but that was my reasoning.

    While this is true, washing your body doesn’t need warm water I’d like to make two points:

    1. It’s more comfortable to bathe/shower in warm water

    2. Hot water is handy for washing dishes by breaking up hardened, sticky substances and not everyone has a dishwasher.

      1. Bathing/showering, yes, agreed.
      2. Hot water for dishes is different than what OP was talking about.
