When putting sweatshirts purchased from Playbabys.com through the wash, try to avoid adding any other chemical complications (such as garments with many zips and metal trimmings). This is because metal or sharp decorative buttons etc. from other garments can scratch the jumper during the vigorous movement of the dryer. Of course you also need to avoid washing with clothing that tends to lose colour to avoid discolouring the jumper by staining it.
Note: Our sweatshirts, do not lose their colour, so please wash with confidence.
By choosing a fairly low water temperature for the cycle, and to prevent size changes in the jumper, please do not use boiling water when adding water to the wash. Our personal recommendation is 40°C. For sweatshirts with patterns we recommend 30°C. A gentle wash cycle is your best option.
We always recommend that you use a minimum amount of mild detergent rather than chlorinated bleach. While it is perfect for keeping your garments bright white, it can also be highly aggressive and damaging to bodysuits. If there are any visible stains on your jumper, you are best to try and remove them by hand before putting them in the washing machine. It may be worth opting for an extra rinse cycle to make sure you have washed off all the detergent.
Getting into good washing habits will allow the jumper to be worn for a longer hoodie of time.
