To use this sweatshirt, just put it on and enjoy its comfort. When it's time to clean, simply machine wash it in cold water, turning it inside out and washing with similar colors. If it gets dirty enough to need bleach, only use non - chlorine bleach. After washing, you can hang it to dry for the best result, or tumble dry it on a cool or low - heat setting. Remember, fabric softener can make the colors fade, so avoid using it. Also, don't iron or dry clean this sweatshirt to keep it in good shape.
