Troubleshooting
Fleece loses softness after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners. Wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Gently brush the fleece pile to restore fluffiness.
Snagged or pulled threads
Carefully trim any loose threads with scissors. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or Velcro, which can cause snags.
Fleece feels less warm
Ensure the fleece is completely dry before wearing. Check for any damage to the fabric pile that might reduce its insulating properties. Regular cleaning can help maintain optimal warmth.
