Here's how to get the most out of your Ilustrata sweatshirt. First, when it's time to wash, just throw it in the washing machine on a cold cycle. Make sure to turn it inside out and wash it with similar colors. If it gets really dirty, you can use non - chlorine bleach, but only when you really need to. After washing, hanging it to dry is the best way to keep it in top shape, but if you're in a hurry, you can tumble dry it on a cool or low - heat setting. Remember, using fabric softener can make the colors fade, so skip that. And don't try to iron it or take it to the dry cleaner, as these can damage the fabric. With these simple steps, your sweatshirt will stay looking great for a long time.
