Washing & caring for hoodies & sweatshirts: keep the logo and the fabric

The care rules that matter

• Wash at 30°C for branded kit; 40°C for workwear that's properly dirty.
• Turn garments inside out so the logo faces in.
• Line dry where you can — tumble drying is the single biggest killer of print.

What the logo needs

Embroidery on hoodies & sweatshirts can take the wash; print needs the gentler cycle. Never iron directly on a vinyl transfer, and keep hi-vis away from fabric softener, which dims the reflective finish.

Garments to put the care rules on

• adidas® Blank crew sweatshirt from £54.00
• adidas® Elevated ¼-zip from £67.50
• adidas® Fleece hoodie from £51.00
• adidas® Lightweight hoodie from £55.00

The golden rule

When in doubt, wash cold, inside out, and air dry. Your branded kit will still look new when the cheap gear has given up.
