Troubleshooting
Fleece appears matted or less fluffy after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid high heat during drying. Tumble drying on a low setting with a couple of tennis balls can help restore loft. Avoid ironing, as high heat can damage the fibers.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. Lubricating the zipper with a pencil lead or a bit of clear lip balm can help improve its glide.
Garment loses shape after wear.
Ensure the binding at the cuffs is intact. Follow the care instructions closely, particularly regarding drying methods. Avoid overstretching the fabric when putting it on or taking it off.
Pilling on the fleece surface.
Pilling is common with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills if they become noticeable.
