But deep down you have the realisation that your life is going to change forever. It’s the last day you are sitting in the same classroom with your friends.
We miss our friends and that’s why we exchange school leavers hoodies.
School leaving hoodies are always close to our heart.
It brings back thousands of memories whenever you wear it. Its something to remember your school by.
So, you must want to wear it forever (at least for as long as possible). To be honest, a little care can make your sweatshirt go longer.
Keep your hoodies soft and fluffy for longer with these tips on how to wash, fold and care for them. Let’s begin.
Wash it Inside Out
The very first tip to wash your hoodie is that whenever you throw it for washing, turn it inside out.
This will protect the color and the outer layer of the sweatshirt. It prevents the outer surface from rubbing with other clothes in the washer.
Also, it protects the print that usually fades after every wash. If it’s a zipper, then zip it up before washing.
Use Cold Water
With hoodies, always work with cold water. Hot water is a big no no for your hoodies.
The reason to use cold water is that it reduces wrinkles.
This saves a lot of time and effort that you need to spend with ironing your school leavers hoodie.
Choose Detergent Wisely
You know not every detergent is friends with sweatshirts.
You need a very mind detergent if you want to protect the material and the print. Harsh detergents not only fades the colour, it also weakens the fabric.
TIP: add a little vinegar to your mild detergent, this acts as a natural fabric softener and prevents dark colour hoodies from bleeding.
No Frequent Washing
Some people have a habit of washing clothes after every wash. This may be required in summers, but you don’t sweat a lot in winters.
So, you don’t need to wash it after each wear. Washing it frequently will only make it lose its shape.
Wear it for at least after 5-6 wears.
Frequent ashing makes the fabric dull, and the colour also fades really quickly.
If you worry about the dirty smell for the hoodie, you can use anti-odor fabric spray. Keep reading to know more about care tips.
