TOP 5 ways to make your fleece stay softer, longer.
1. Gather your fleece blanket, along with blankets or sweaters that are similar in color or texture. wash your fleece blanket with fabrics that compliment its softness.
2. Set your washing machine to the delicate or gentle cycle. Allow it to fill up halfway with water before adding anything. Never use hot water or bleach.
3. Sprinkle or pour in your laundry detergent and let it dissolve, creating suds. This will prevent any spots or detergent stains from sticking to the fleece.
4. Insert the blanket and other like items into the washing machine. Using pure laundry detergent will keep the blanket soft and smooth during the washing.
5. Dry your blanket in the dryer on low heat or the air fluff option, if possible. Halfway through the cycle, take out the fleece blanket. Shake it 2 or 3 times and put it back in the dryer. This will allow the blanket to dry completely on all sides. Avoid washing fleece blankets with towels. Fleece material attracts lint balls, which are hard to remove. Add a fabric sheet to the dryer to prevent static clean.
