How should I wash this fleece to maintain its softness?

What does 'contrast binding' mean?
Contrast binding refers to the material sewn along the edges (like the hem, cuffs, or collar) that differs in color from the main body of the fleece, adding a visual accent and reinforcing the seams.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.
Zipper or snap is difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the mechanism. Gently try to realign the snap or use a graphite pencil (lead) on the zipper teeth to lubricate.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid abrasive materials in the wash. A fabric shaver can gently remove pills.
