Troubleshooting
Fleece loses its softness after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Always follow the recommended washing and drying instructions.
Zipper is stiff or catches
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Fleece pilling excessively
Pilling is common with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid washing it with rough items like denim or items with Velcro. A fabric shaver can be used to remove existing pills.
