Yeah, I thought about that, but I saw the text on their site about using the
local laundry to clean the stuff first and how they aren't responsible for
damage caused by the laundry. Then I saw a notice on a competitor's site about
the number of people who's covers got trashed in the laundry (IMO, obviously
talking about Kennon), so I have reservations about that program.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.
