How to wash laundry in cold water?

I heard a radio program on NPR one day about laundry, and the person said that detergent made specifically for cold water washes are really much better for cold washing, and that aside from really dirty clothes, most of your clothes can be washed in cold water, using that special cold water detergent. Most laundry detergents are designed to be used in warm to hot water, and don't properly break down or clean well in cold water. But the specially designed cold water detergent is formulated differently.

Does your body warm up faster if you take your clothes off?

Think about it! If you are going outside and you put on heavy clothing and coat you are insulating yourself from the cold. Insulation retards the transfer of cold to your body. By the same token, if you are cold outside and wearing the same clothes and then go inside it will retard the warm from getting to your cold body (taking longer to warm up). So yes, if you remove the insulation (clothes) inside trying to get warm it will heat you quicker (faster). To sum up, it is the transfer of heat or cold, and the time it takes, that is affected by the insulation you wear, or not wear, and therefore whether you warm up or cool down faster.
