Complaint
This programme, offering “everyday solutions to the climate crisis” included the advice that putting denim jeans in the deep freeze would disinfect them while economising on the energy and water used in washing them. A listener complained that this advice was misleading.
Outcome
The disinfectant effect of freezing on the microbes most likely to be found in jeans is slight, and the advice was misleading.
Further action
The programme was edited and replaced on ±«Óătv Sounds and will not be rebroadcast in its original form.
