How To Care
For Fleece
Fleece is made from synthetic fibers
(usually 100-percent polyester).
Eco-friendly fleece is made of
fibers derived from recycled
products, including plastic bottles,
or from sustainably harvested wool.
Consider including care tips like
these on a garment hangtag.
DO wash a fleece
garment after six
to seven wearings.
DO turn garments inside
out and wash in cold
water with like colors.
DO use a mild powder
detergent and rinse
garments twice to avoid
detergent residue.
DON’T wash with
lint-producing
items such as towels.
DON’T use heat to
dry fleece.
Air dry or set dryer to
lowest setting.
DON’T use fabric
softeners and
dryer sheets if the fleece has
a water-resistant finish.
DON’T use bleach.
To whiten
fleece, set out in the sun for
a few hours.
*Hint: the easiest way to
remove stubborn pet hair is
by wiping fleece with a wet
rubber glove.
