They work really well in cold water and get your clothes just as clean. Switch to washing your clothes in cold water. Hang your clothes to dry. Instead of drying, hang clothes on hangers and let them dry naturally. We hang all of our clothes to dry and it never takes more than one night for the clothes to fully dry out.
