To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on like any other top. It's great for casual outings or relaxing at home. When it comes to washing, remember to turn it inside out and wash it in cold water with similar colors. Only use non - chlorine bleach if there are stains. After washing, you can either hang it to dry for the best results or use the cool/low heat setting on your dryer. Don't use fabric softener because it can make the colors fade. Also, don't iron it or take it to the dry cleaner. This way, your sweatshirt will stay in good condition for a long time.
