Cold Showers? Nope…and We’ve Got More, Too

Cold Showers Won’t Get the Job Done

Allyson Chiu of the Washington Post believes we need to start taking cold shows as a way to save on our energy bills.

There are a few problems with this suggestion.

Cold showers don’t get the body properly cleaned. The pores on the skin loosen and open most efficiently in hot water. Oils and dirt wash away by your soap more easily in hot water, too.

Cold water won’t save you energy on bathing for any other reason besides encouraging you to keep it short. If you’re racing in and out of the water while you’re shivering, you need to wonder just how “clean” you got.

Perhaps Chiu should have suggested alternatives, like solar showers and tankless water heaters.
