Question about international laundry instructions

[question everything]

When it has the symbol of 30 C is this a cold wash?

Thanks

2. No, I think 30 C is actually pretty warm...

If 0 is freezing temp, and a really pleasant day day in England is about 17 or 18C, then 30 is hot.

That's the only way I can keep it straight for myself!!

5. Thanks, all of you.

Perhaps they can use a thermometer, similar to the one they have on salsa jars to indicate cold, warm and hot.. They would not need words. Just have the thermometer pre-marked with these three temps. and then have the label temp. "rising" to the indicated mark.
