Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and consider using a fabric softener specifically designed for cotton blends.
Embroidery appears damaged
Check if the damage is due to snagging. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or sharp edges. Iron on the reverse side on a low heat setting.
Garment loses its softness
Avoid high heat drying, which can flatten fleece fibers. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not use fabric softeners that can coat the fibers over time.
