Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or is sticking.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently rub a graphite pencil or a wax crayon along the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Try zipping up and down slowly a few times.
Fabric appears to have shrunk after washing.
Cotton can shrink if washed or dried at high temperatures. Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry to prevent further shrinkage.
Color appears to be fading.
To preserve color, always wash the hoodie inside out in cold water with a color-safe detergent. Avoid using bleach or washing with abrasive items. Air drying can also help prevent color fade that sometimes occurs in high heat dryers.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) on the fabric surface.
Pilling can occur with wear and washing. To minimize it, wash the hoodie inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for pilling can gently remove them without damaging the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care and Maintenance:
To ensure your Polo Ralph Lauren Kids' Full-Zip Hoodie maintains its quality and appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Turning the hoodie inside out before washing can help preserve the color and the iconic pony logo.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage cotton fibers and fade the blue color.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can cause cotton to shrink and affect the fabric's integrity. For best results, consider air drying flat or hanging to dry to minimize shrinkage and maintain shape.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, avoiding direct contact with the logo. Ironing inside out is often preferred.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging if storing for long periods, as this can stretch the fabric; folding is often better for knit garments.
By following these simple care steps, you can help extend the life of the hoodie and keep it looking its best.
