How to Wash a Hoodie Without Ruining It
Hoodies are easy to wash badly. A few habits make the difference between a hoodie that lasts years and one that looks tired after months.
What temperature should you wash a hoodie at?
30 degrees or cooler for most hoodies. Check the care label.
Should you wash it inside out?
Yes. It protects the outside from friction and protects any print.
What detergent should you use?
A gentle liquid detergent. Skip bleach and use less fabric softener.
How do you dry it?
Flat or on an airer. If you must use the dryer, use low heat. See how to dry a hoodie quickly and safely.
What are the big mistakes?
Hot water, overloading the drum and wringing it out. See why hoodies shrink.
