It is better to wash clothes in hot water than in cold water. Explain.

(N/A) The surface tension of a liquid decreases as its temperature increases. When water is heated,its surface tension decreases,which allows the water to penetrate more effectively into the fine pores and fibers of the clothes. This increased wetting ability helps in loosening and removing dirt and grease particles more efficiently compared to cold water. Therefore,washing clothes in hot water is more effective.
