Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes restore fluffiness. Consider air drying to prevent matting.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper up and down several times. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Embroidery appears damaged
Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered area. If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim loose threads with small scissors. Do not bleach the garment.
