To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy its comfort. When it's time to clean, throw it in the washing machine on a cold setting. Make sure to turn it inside out and wash it with clothes of similar colors. Only use non - chlorine bleach if there are stains. After washing, you can hang it to dry for the best look, or you can use the tumble dryer on a cool or low - heat setting. Remember, fabric softener can make the colors fade, so skip it. Also, don't iron or dry clean the sweatshirt to keep it in good condition.
