So, you’ve got your new custom hoodie – it looks epic, feels amazing, and you never want to take it off. But to keep it looking sharp and feeling comfy, it’s important to give it a little TLC. Printed hoodies last longer when you know how to care for them properly.
Here’s how to keep your hoodie fresh, bold, and ready for anything.
Wash It Cold, Wash It Right
Always wash your hoodie in cold water. Hot water can shrink the fabric and fade the print faster. Turn it inside out before washing – this helps protect the design from rubbing against other clothes.
Skip the Harsh Stuff
Go easy on the detergent. Use something mild, and skip bleach or fabric softeners – they can break down the fabric and affect the print. Gentle is key.
Air Dry for Best Results
We know it’s tempting to throw your hoodie in the dryer, but air drying is way better. Heat from dryers can crack or peel prints over time and cause shrinkage. Lay it flat or hang it up to dry naturally.
Iron with Care (If You Have To)
Hoodies don’t need much ironing, but if you do, avoid the print! Turn it inside out and use a low heat setting. Never iron directly on the design – it could ruin the artwork.
Store It Smart
Hang your hoodie or fold it neatly – don’t shove it into a pile. This helps keep its shape and avoids wrinkles or stretched-out cuffs.
Spot Clean When You Can
Got a small stain? Spot clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. No need to throw it in the wash every time – less washing means your hoodie lasts longer.
Keep It Rotation-Ready
If you love your hoodie, wear it often – but give it a break too. Rotate with your other hoodies to avoid over-wear and tear.
Look After It, Love It Longer
A little care goes a long way. Treat your custom hoodie right, and it’ll stay fresh, comfy, and bold for years to come.
