People ask the same hoodie questions over and over: how to wash them, why do they pill, how to stop shrinkage, and what to do if the zipper jams. This guide answers those questions with clear, practical steps.
Washing & drying
Cold wash, inside out, gentle detergent.
Avoid fabric softener for technical blends.
Air-dry or tumble on low heat. Avoid high heat to prevent shrinkage.
Removing smells & stains
Smells: soak in cold water with a cup of white vinegar for 30 minutes, rinse, then wash.
Oil stains: apply a small amount of dish soap to the stain, let sit 10–15 minutes, rinse, then wash.
Sweat marks under armpit: soak in enzyme cleaner or baking soda paste before wash.
Fixing common problems
Pilling: use a fabric shaver or a disposable razor gently.
Loose drawstrings: thread new cord with a safety pin.
Zipper stuck: rub graphite or candle wax along teeth; work zipper up and down.
