To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy its comfort. When it comes to cleaning, make sure to machine wash it in cold water and turn it inside out. Wash it with clothes of similar colors to avoid color bleeding. Only use non - chlorine bleach if it gets really dirty. After washing, hanging it to dry is the best option, but if you're in a hurry, you can tumble dry it on a cool or low - heat setting. Remember, fabric softener can make the colors fade, so skip it. And don't try to iron or dry clean this sweatshirt as it may damage the material.
