Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore some softness.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove small pills.
