Why is agitation necessary to get clean clothes?
easy. it works better to agitate anything when cleaning, not just clothes. Imagine washing your hands by just puting them in water and not rubing at all, some stuff would come off but if they are dirty most of the stuff will still be on your hands. with clothes it is even more necessary because the are porous and things can get stuck in the fabric, aggitation forces water through the clothes and moves new cleaner water to the area. Also the physical movement helps break up the molecules of whatever might be in your clothes which increases the surface area and allows for faster and more comlplete wash. There are more reasons, like to evenly spread the soap around which breaks up the dirt molecues and allows it to be washed away and not stick right back on the clothes. I suppose if the clothes were not very dirty and if they sat for a long time in soapy water, then were rinsed several more times than usual, agitation would not be necessary. so basically it works alot better to agitate the clothes while washing.

Is it better to wash your hands in warm or cold water?
Although the FDA mandates warm water for those in food service, the CDC says any temperature is fine, so it's a bit of a contested subject.Heat is known to kill bacteria, but the temperature and duration of exposure required would seriously damage human skin, so that argument for warm water is a bust. Additionally, some advocate for washing in cool water because it uses less energy and is therefore more environmentally friendly.Anyway, no matter the temperature, washing your hands thoroughly with soap for 20 seconds is good practice.
