How to Keep a Black Hoodie Black
A black hoodie is the most worn thing in plenty of wardrobes. Here is how to keep it looking new.
How should you wash a black hoodie?
Inside out, cool water, a gentle cycle and a darks detergent. Do not overload the drum.
Should you tumble dry it?
Avoid it if you can. Heat fades colour and shrinks fabric. Dry it flat or on a airer away from direct sun.
How do you stop lint and pilling?
Wash it with other soft items, not towels or jeans. See how to remove pilling from a hoodie.
How often should you wash it?
Air it out between wears and wash when it needs it, not after every wear.
How do you store it?
Fold it, do not hang it, so the shoulders keep their shape. See how to fold and store hoodies.
