Step 1. Read the hoodie label for the recommended washing method
Most cotton hoodies can be machine washed. Wool hoodies are softer than cotton. Therefore, if you wash it in a washing machine, the woolen hoodie may be damaged. If your hoodie is made of wool, wash it in the dry cleaners.
Cotton hoodies can also be washed using the dry clean method. However, due to its strong material, cotton hoodies can be machine washed several times
Step 2. Turn the hoodie over
Don't forget to close the entire zipper of the hoodie so it doesn't get caught while it's being washed. Turning the hoodie over before putting it in the washing machine will keep the hoodie cleaner. In addition, the outer layer of the hoodie will also remain protected.
When turning the hoodie over, do not forget to pull out the hood and sleeves of the hoodie. This is done so that the hood and sleeves of the hoodie are completely clean
Step 3. Wash the hoodie along with similar clothes
To keep the color intact, wash the hoodie along with clothes of a similar color. Don't wash the hoodie with the towel. Towel fibers may stick to the hoodie.
Make sure your washing load is not too much when washing the hoodie. This is done so that the hoodie is completely clean after washing
