Troubleshooting
Fleece appears to be losing warmth
Ensure the fleece is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the fibers, reducing insulation. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. Gentle washing and air drying can minimize it. Consider using a fabric shaver carefully if the pilling becomes significant.
Garment feels less breathable
Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat the fibers. Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine to allow for proper rinsing.
