Whereas Swedish consumers, on average, report the lowest purchasing frequency for both jeans and t-shirts, US and Polish consumers are responsible for the highest production- induced impacts from jeans and t-shirts, respectively.
We further show that the greater importance of the use phase in the US is driven both by more carbon-intensive energy grids (relative to Germany and Sweden) and more frequent washing and drying!
In fact, by hypothetically transferring the washing and drying patterns of Swedish consumers to the US context, we observe that these behaviors induce a 64% lower impact than those of the average US consumer, thereby highlighting the significance of washing and drying behavior in countries with carbon-intensive energy grids.
The number of wears before washing (see Table 5) − which varies from 3.5 (1.8) in the US to 12.2 (2.6) in Sweden for jeans (t-shirts).
We estimated a potential GHG saving of 5.9 million tonnes CO2−eq per year from switching all washes to 30 °C or lower.

Norway has the lowest emissions with 1.2 × 102 g CO2−eq/wash cycle and Poland has the highest emissions with 7.9 × 102 g CO2−eq/ wash cycle.
The population-weighted average life cycle GHG emissions in Europe are equal to 5.1 × 102 g CO2−eq/ wash cycle.
In the case all washes were done using the temperature category of 30 °C or lower, inter-country variability would be a factor of 4.5 and the population-weighted average life cycle GHG emissions in Europe would be 330 g CO2−eq/wash cycle. Given that the average GHG reduction potential of this scenario would be 177 g CO2−eq/wash cycle that implies a 35% reduction in the life cycle GHG footprint of clothes washing.
Remember that is important to consider how a country produce electricity!
So obviously nordic countries have better values

Turning down your laundry temperature can save up to 60% of the energy used in every wash https://perma.cc/A6HF-KQNY
