How to maintain a printed hoodie to keep the pattern from fading?

To maintain a printed hoodie, especially to keep its pattern bright and non fading, it is important to pay attention to the following key steps:

1. Mild washing: Hand washing with cold water or warm water not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius is recommended. High temperatures can accelerate the fading and deformation of printing. If machine washing is necessary, please choose a gentle cycle and turn the clothes upside down with the printed side facing inward to reduce friction.

2. Special detergents: Avoid using detergents containing bleach, and choose neutral or laundry detergent specifically designed for printed clothing. The amount should be moderate, as excessive chemicals can cause damage to the printing.

3. Soft processing: Avoid rubbing the printed area, especially large or fine patterns. You can use gentle squeezing instead of rubbing, or put the clothes in a laundry bag for machine washing.

4. Reverse air drying: After washing, do not directly expose the clothes to sunlight. Instead, turn the clothes upside down and air dry them naturally in a cool and ventilated place. Intense sunlight can cause the print to fade and may lead to fabric aging.

5. Avoid high temperatures: When drying or ironing, avoid high temperatures. If ironing is required, the temperature should be set to a low temperature range and a piece of cloth should be placed on the printed fabric to avoid direct contact with the iron.

6. Storage precautions: When storing, avoid direct friction between the printed part and other clothing. It is best to fold it flat or hang it in a ventilated and dry place to prevent indentation and deformation.

7. Fixation treatment: For newly purchased printed hoodies, a small amount of salt or white vinegar can be added to water and soaked for a few minutes before the first washing to help fix the color. However, it should be noted that this is not suitable for all materials, especially sensitive fabrics such as silk.

Following the above maintenance methods can effectively extend the service life of printed hoodies and maintain their vivid and new patterns.
