How to Care for a Black Fleece French Terry Zip Hoodie

Quick answer

Wash your black fleece French terry zip hoodie inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry to preserve the brushed softness and prevent fading.

Hoodie care FAQ

How often should I wash it?

Wash only when visibly soiled or after several wears. Over-washing wears down the brushed fibers and fades the black color.

What's the best washing method?

Turn the hoodie inside out, zip it up to protect the front and drawcords, and wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener.

Can I put it in the dryer?

Air dry flat or on a low-heat setting. High heat can shrink the cotton-poly blend and damage the brushed finish. Remove promptly to avoid wrinkles. If you must use a dryer, tumble dry on low and take it out while still slightly damp.

How do I prevent fading?

Wash inside out in cold water and avoid prolonged sun exposure when drying. Adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle can help set the black dye.

What about pilling?

Use a fabric shaver or sweater stone gently on the surface after washing. Avoid rubbing against rough surfaces like Velcro or denim rivets. Store the hoodie folded rather than hung to reduce friction on the brushed fabric.
