Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade polyester fibers over time. Tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls to restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to pull.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Ensure the inner zip guard is properly positioned. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can help lubricate it.
Pilling appears on the fabric.
Pilling is normal with fleece over time due to friction. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim or velcro. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver.
