Care Guide: Sweatshirts and Hoodies

Swanndri sweatshirts and hoodies are made for everyday wear - warm, comfortable layers you can throw on and rely on. Built from durable fabrics and designed to last, they're easy to care for with a few simple steps.

Because sweatshirts and hoodies are often worn as outer layers, they generally don't need to be washed as often as close-to-skin garments. Spot cleaning and airing will often be enough to freshen them up between washes.

Recommended Care

Designed for comfort, warmth, and longevity, Swanndri sweatshirts and hoodies benefit from gentle care that protects the fabric and helps them keep their shape over time.

• Spot clean and air when possible
• Ideal for light marks and everyday wear
• Cold gentle machine wash, when needed
• Wash with similar fabrics and colours
• Do not use fabric softener
• Fabric softeners can impact the performance and feel of the garment
• Do not soak or bleach
• Line dry in the shade
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not iron
• Do not dry clean

Line drying helps preserve the fibres, reduce energy use, and maintain the overall condition of your hoodie or sweatshirt.

Wash Less, Wear More

Washing less frequently and avoiding heat helps reduce fibre wear and keeps your sweatshirt looking better for longer.

If your hoodie just needs a refresh, hanging it outdoors - especially after heavy use - can often do the trick without a full wash.

Keeping Shape & Comfort

High heat is one of the fastest ways to break down fibres and stretch garments out of shape. Cold water, gentle cycles, and air drying help maintain the soft feel and relaxed fit your sweatshirt was designed to have.

Avoid over-washing and always check the care label inside your garment before washing.
