How to Take Care of Your 100% Cotton Hoodie (and Keep It Looking Awesome!)

Your 100% cotton hoodie is your go-to for everything, right? It’s comfy, it’s cozy, and it’s got that effortlessly cool vibe. But to keep it looking sharp, you need to give it a little TLC. Don’t worry—it’s not rocket science! Here’s a fun, easy guide on how to wash, dry, and iron your hoodie without turning it into a crop top (unless that’s the look you’re going for).

Washing Your Hoodie: The Chill Way

First thing’s first: no one likes a sad, shrunken hoodie. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.

1. Flip It Inside Out: Pretend your hoodie is shy—turn it inside out before tossing it in the wash. This keeps the outer layer looking fresh and protects any cool designs.

2. Cold is Cool: Wash your hoodie in cold water. Hot water can shrink cotton faster than you can say, "I didn’t sign up for this." Cold water keeps your hoodie in check and helps the colors stay bright.

3. Gentle is Key: Use a mild detergent and set your machine to a gentle cycle. Treat your hoodie like it’s on a spa day—no harsh scrubbing or spinning.

Drying: Don’t Turn Your Hoodie Into a Doll-Sized Disaster

This is where many hoodies meet their untimely end. Let’s make sure yours doesn’t.

1. Air Dry Like a Pro: The best move? Lay your hoodie flat on a towel or drying rack and let the air do the work. No shrinking, no stress.

2. Low Heat, High Reward: If you're in a hurry and need to toss it in the dryer, use low heat. High heat = mini hoodie. Trust us, you don’t want that.

3. Damp is Good: If you must use the dryer, take it out while it's still slightly damp. This gives it time to finish drying without shrinking or losing its shape.

Ironing: Only If You Absolutely Have To

Hoodies and irons aren’t best friends, but if you must iron out a few wrinkles, here’s how to do it right:

1. Flip It Again: Keep that hoodie inside out when ironing to protect its surface. No one wants shiny spots where they don’t belong.

2. Low Heat, Again!: Just like with drying, low heat is your hoodie’s best friend. You’re just smoothing out the wrinkles, not grilling a cheese sandwich.

3. Damp Cloth Hack: Lay a damp cloth over the hoodie while ironing. It adds an extra layer of protection and makes the process a little smoother. Who knew ironing could be this fancy?

Blem’s 100% Combed Cotton Hoodies

If you're rocking a Blem 100% combed cotton hoodie, you’ve already leveled up. Blem hoodies are made from combed cotton, which is softer, smoother, and more durable than your regular cotton. It’s like the VIP section of hoodies.

What makes combed cotton so awesome? The combing process removes any short, weak fibers, leaving only the best behind. That means fewer fuzzies, no pilling, and a hoodie that feels like you’re wrapped in a cloud.

Here’s the good news: because Blem hoodies are made from top-notch cotton, they’re already resistant to wrinkles and shrinking. But still, show them some love:

• Wash cold, air dry whenever you can.
• Expect fewer creases and minimal shrinkage. Your Blem hoodie is here for the long haul, staying as soft and fresh as the day you got it.

In short, your hoodie is your trusty sidekick, and with a little care, it’ll stay looking and feeling awesome for years to come. Whether it’s a classic 100% cotton piece or a premium Blem combed cotton hoodie, proper care ensures that your cozy staple always has your back.
