I agree with you. If they can be made clean at 30' then that's what the washing instructions should say.

I suppose they want to let you know the maximum they can be washed at, but want to encourage you to wash cooler. Most washing machines have a 'standard' setting of 40, don't they? I know I pay attention to washing instructions when buying clothes. If they say dry clean, I would rarely purchase...'cept for a special occassion, of course.

Please tell me there's no such thing as "dry clean only" running kit, someone. It will help stop me losing all my faith in the modern world.

Pilotlight: yeah. And you know who I hate? Cyclists in blue tops. Ought to be legal to run them over.

Not all marketing wankers spout drivel like that, you know.
