My place has a washing machine capable of doing 60° however I struggle to find any detergent that goes this high up. Seems most are 30° and if you look hard enough you find some that do 40°. Shop staff looks confused if you ask them for higher temperature ranges.
As far as I remember going any higher than the recommended temperature gives your a worse result than sticking to the low temp. Basically kills the bioactive ingredients. I would love to use the 60°, especially for baby clothes or towels.
Anyone got recommendations for brands / type of detergent than works well on 60°? Preferably unscented, but I’ll take anything at this point.

Sodium percarbonate/oxiclean/過炭酸ナトリウム usually says 30-50 degree use for laundry, but 60 degree use in the drum to kill mold. So, I’d go with that.
I don’t know because I am allergic to a lot of things and I don’t use the latest detergents on the market. I would recommend powdered soap laundry detergent or baking soda and oxygen bleach.
