Whether you've just purchased one of our embroidered hoodies or sweatshirts or you've had one for a while, it's important to take proper care of it to ensure it stays in great condition. The Embroidery Crew is here to provide you with some helpful care instructions to keep your embroidered garments looking their best.
1. Read the Care Label
Before you start washing your embroidered hoodie or sweatshirt, always check the care label. The care label will provide specific instructions on how to clean and care for your garment. Following the care label instructions is crucial to prevent any damage to the embroidery.
2. Turn the Garment Inside Out
When washing your embroidered hoodie or sweatshirt, turn it inside out. This helps protect the delicate embroidery from rubbing against other garments or the washing machine drum. It also helps preserve the colors of the embroidery.
3. Use a Gentle Cycle
Opt for a gentle cycle with a maximum temperature of 30 °C when washing your embroidered hoodie or sweatshirt. This will minimize the agitation and reduce the risk of the embroidery getting snagged or damaged. Using a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics is also recommended.
4. Avoid Bleach and Harsh Chemicals
Avoid using bleach or any harsh chemicals when washing your embroidered garment. These can cause the embroidery threads to weaken or fade. Instead, opt for a gentle detergent that is safe for colored fabrics.
5. Only Air Dry
After washing, it's best to air dry your embroidered hoodie or sweatshirt. Hang it up or lay it flat on a clean surface to dry. Do not tumble dry to prevent shrinking or distorting the embroidery.
6. Iron with Caution
When ironing your embroidered hoodie or sweatshirt, be sure to use low heat and avoid ironing directly on the embroidery to prevent damage to the threads.
By following these care instructions from The Embroidery Crew, you can enjoy your embroidered hoodie or sweatshirt for years to come.
