Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is flat. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions. Avoid high heat in washing or drying. A gentle tumble dry on low heat or air drying can help maintain softness. Consider using a fabric softener sparingly on subsequent washes if needed, though avoid overuse.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out, use a gentle cycle, and avoid abrasive materials in the wash. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove any existing pills.
