To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy its comfort. When it's time to clean, toss it in the washing machine on a cold cycle, making sure to turn it inside out and wash it with clothes of similar colors. Only use non - chlorine bleach if really needed. After washing, you can either hang it up to dry for the best results or use the cool/low heat setting in the dryer. Remember, fabric softener can make the colors fade, so skip it. And don't try to iron or dry clean the sweatshirt as it might damage the material.
