Washing fleece

Resolution

Give your fleece the best possible care and launder it at home. The best results come from a warm wash with a mild detergent and no fabric softener. Fleece is great at absorbing water so be sure to select the extra rinse option to remove all the detergent residue.

1. Wash fleece with synthetics

Don't wash your fleece with cotton garments as they produce lint. Instead, wash with other synthetic clothing like polyesters and nylons.

2. Don't iron fleece, use steam

Tumble dry your jacket on a sport or synthetic cycle. But don't iron it. Instead, try a steam cycle to de-wrinkle and freshen your fleece.

3. Washing a fleece jacket

Empty any pockets and close any velcro tabs and zippers before washing and drying to protect your fleece's surface.
