Care Guide

Care Instructions

• Wash: Turn your custom Independent Trading Company IND4000 heavyweight hoodie inside out and machine wash in cold water ($\text{max } 30^\circ\text{C}$ or $90^\circ\text{F}$) on a gentle cycle to protect the fleece lining and printed graphics.

• Bleach: Do not use bleach, harsh chemical agents, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the cotton-poly blend and compromise Direct-to-Garment (DTG) print vibrancy.

• Dry: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a shaded area to maintain fabric integrity and prevent excessive shrinkage.

• Iron: If needed, iron inside out using a low heat setting. Never iron directly over printed artwork across the front, back, sleeves, or neck zones.

Merchandise Maintenance: Following these professional care practices ensures your small business uniforms and retail merchandise retain their heavyweight comfort, rich color saturation, and retail-ready finish over time.
