You should use warm water when you're washing your hands.
replyWhy?

That's by far the more practical option anyway if we truly cared about the problem instead of fawning over engineer porn. The problem is solved. This is pointless engagement about temperature preference masquerading as something more interesting.

Solubility is a function of temperature.

replythere is this thing named "Single Lever Wash Basin Mixer Tap".
replyI think it takes time because the hot water line doesn’t immediately return hot water
