Doesn't seem to be true for my sweaty t-shirts? If I don't wash them in 60 C (140 F) they keep smelling sweaty. The same applies to kitchen towels, they develop a nasty smell if I don't wash them hot, at least every second time I wash them. Obviously I could bleach the towels, but I'd prefer not to bleach the t-shirts in nice colours...

Definitely a case of YMMV then - I switched to cold water wash over a yr ago, and the only laundry bleach I use is non-chlorine (basically hydrogen peroxide). The only problem I've noted is that I sometimes have to use pre-wash stain remover twice. Whether I hang stuff out to dry or use the electric drier (in cold wet weather) there's never been any unwanted odors.
