- That's strange. I have washed mine several times without any adverse effects.

- Could it be because my washers users Centigrade and most US washers
- use Fahrenheit?
-
- I believe the US has regulations regarding exports of Fahrenheits, so T-shirts
- for the European market must be able to handle Centigrade.
-
- If you need any help handling Centigrades please let me know.
