Troubleshooting

Hoodie feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using the correct washing cycle (cold) and avoiding harsh detergents. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness. Avoid over-drying.

Color fading on the hoodie

Wash inside out in cold water with like colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. If ironing is needed, use a cool setting and iron on the reverse side.
