My Response to the Question. It will make cleaning easier and more effective.
Usually, higher temperatures cause the reaction to occur faster, and lower temperatures slow it down.
For instance, when washing whites, you usually use a Hot temperature.
I have also noticed this when cleaning around the house or at a job. Hot Water will work much better for cleaning purposes. And I would say also more effective at disinfecting than just cold water.
Although I would also be inclined to use Lysol to disinfect any contagion, it’s always better to play it safe.
A Quick Tip on Plumbing Repair.
Or for instance, when I unclog a drain, I will run Water for five minutes on Hot temperature. It will break the dirt or the food if it’s the kitchen drain.
I forgot to run the water or was in a Hurry and didn’t run the Hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. And the stoppage would build up again the next day.
And I would have to go back and unclog the drain again.
Thus “Hot Water or Warm Water” will clean much faster or break down dirt, grime, or food. And wash it down the drain after snaking the drain.
I Hope this Helps.
