Your Octohoodie is doing more work than a normal towel. Here's how to keep it that way.
Skip the fabric softener. It coats the fibres and kills the quick-dry, quick-absorb thing that makes microfibre actually work. Feels nice in the wash, ruins the whole point of the hoodie.
Wash cool, not hot. Hot water breaks down the microfibre over time and it stops pulling water the way it should.
Let it dry properly before you fold it away damp in a bag. Microfibre dries fast in open air, but sealed up wet is how you get that musty smell nobody wants.
That's it. No fancy care, just skip the two things that quietly wreck it.
