Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fleece fibers are caught in the track and rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate.
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Use a fabric shaver or a fine-toothed comb to gently remove pills after washing to restore the appearance of the garment.
