To be extra safe, wash your hoodie every week. Regularly washing it will make sure your hoodie doesn’t get any set in stains—like from sweat or dirt—that are hard to clean. If you exercise in your hoodie, then you will likely need to wash it more. If you’re questioning whether or not it’s dirty, it’s better to go ahead and wash it. You don’t want worries about a dirty hoodie overshadowing your day. Consider what you’re wearing under your hoodie. The more layers you wear, the less sweat your hoodie encounters.
Take the metal pull of the zipper and fold it up toward the collar of the hoodie. Loop the open side of the safety pin through the hole in the metal pull. Push the pin through the fabric. Close the safety pin.
Don’t add too much soap. While you want a clean hoodie, too much soap will be hard to rinse out. Plus, excess soap attracts dirt and bacteria, keeping it in the fabric.

A colander is a bowl that has holes so that you can drain water. If you don’t have a colander, check if your pots came with a basket to steam veggies. If you lack kitchen supplies, you could try a large funnel.
If you can’t find anything to rinse your hoodie in, just fill the wash container with clean water and rinse it that way. Check to make sure that you’ve washed out all of the detergent by smelling the fabric. If you catch a strong whiff of soap, rinse your hoodie again. [20] X Research source
