Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have avoided fabric softeners, which can affect fleece properties. Tumble drying on a low setting can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Some minor pilling is normal with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim. Use a fabric shaver carefully if pilling becomes significant.
