Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers. Wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper while holding the fabric taut. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Item has accumulated lint or pet hair.
Use a lint roller or a slightly damp cloth to remove loose fibers. For more stubborn lint, a soft-bristled brush can be effective.
