The acid-washed hoodie has a distinctive wear-resistant effect, which is achieved through chemical treatment. If not cleaned properly, its color is prone to fading. To maintain the original appearance, please follow the steps below.
At Bayee Clothing, we firmly believe that the foundation of exceptional apparel lies in the quality of the materials we choose. We’re not just about creating stylish pieces; We are firmly committed to providing you with a one-stop service.
Firstly, carefully read the care label on the clothing. Most acid-washed hoodie are suitable for gentle washing. Please avoid using hot water and instead use cold or warm water for washing, as high temperatures can damage the dye molecules. Before washing, turn the hoodie inside out so that the acid-washed pattern on the outside can be protected from the friction of other clothes and the washing machine drum, thereby reducing the risk of color fading of the garment.
It is necessary to choose the appropriate detergent. Select a mild, non-bleeding detergent that does not contain bleach, alternative bleaching agents, or irritating enzymes. These components can damage the acidic washing treatment effect and cause fading. Also, avoid using fabric softeners as they leave residues and will make the texture and color of the hoodie dull over time.
Wash separately or together with similar-colored clothes. Acid-based dyes may bleed, so the hood should be washed separately during the first few washes. Afterwards, it can be washed together with dark-colored, stain-resistant clothes to prevent color transfer and friction. Use the gentle or delicate washing mode in the washing machine; avoid vigorous spin-drying to prevent excessive friction on the fabric.
Never use a dryer. The high temperature produced by the dryer is the main cause of color fading, and it can also cause the clothes to shrink and damage their original size. Therefore, they should be laid flat on a clean towel to dry naturally, or hung on a clothesline with shade. Exposing them directly to the sun will accelerate fading, so do not dry them outdoors in strong sunlight.
For local cleaning, you can use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Gently wipe the stains instead of rubbing them hard, as rubbing hard will spread the stains and cause the area to fade. Do not use detergents containing bleach or rough ingredients.
Cleaning should only be done when necessary. Excessive cleaning can damage the natural oils of the clothes and the effect of the acid wash treatment. Hang the hoodie to dry between each wear to keep it fresh and reduce the need for frequent cleaning. Following these steps will enable your acid-washed hoodie to maintain its brighter color for a longer time.
