  2. haha it seems as though i was wondering about the same type of thing today. I work in a resturant and i heard a few months back that soaking towels in bleach with HOT water will negatively affect the effectiveness of bleach. I have researched all over the web. and i have found that the agreement via basic chemistry, household experiments, and basic common sense is that yes hot water does take away from the effectiveness of bleach. bleach kills 99.9 % of bacteria, so you do not need to soak your clothes in a HOT water/bleach solution. you should soak your clothes in a cold or room temp water/bleach solution to penetrate the stain, seeing as most types of bleach chemically change the molecules of the stain making them invisible to the human eye (some bleach products actually break apart the bonds in the stain eliminating the "stickiness" the stain has to the fabric. Hot water also causes another type of reaction that leads the bleach product to produce Cl gas. which the smell that is given off when you use bleach and hot water. i also confirmed all of this by testing two containers of towels today. i equally stained towels soak for five hours each. I set the first in cold/room temp water, and the second in hot water. the bucket with the cold water was much more effective in removing stains than the hot water bucket. you want as much bacteria to be removed from the fabric as possible. so my suggestion would be to soak them in cold water and bleach and then wash or rinse them in hot water for the most effective cleaning.
