To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy the cozy warmth it provides. It's great for casual outings or staying at home. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the colors bright and the fabric in good shape. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the print. After washing, tumble dry on low to prevent shrinking. If you need to iron it, use a low - heat setting and iron on the reverse side to protect the design. Remember, since it's made to order, please be patient during the 7 - 10 business - day processing time.
