Do you find that your fleece smells after using for 1 day? Well this may help you to get the smell out. You can do this every month or ever other month to have your fleece smelling good again.
First fill bathtub with very hot water, add a teaspoon of dawn Regular (blue can get at most dollaramas) mix up a bit and then add your fleece and then let them sit in that until water has cooled.
Now fill your washing machine with hot water and run a full cycle with 1/2 teaspoon of dawn(be very careful of this you do not want bubbles all over the place!) then do rinses until you see no bubbles on top when you stop machine to see(may need two or more)
Then dry as you would(do not use any dryer sheets ever) and your fleece should smell good as new and ammonia free.
Tips:
Never use fabric softeners it will just build up on the fleece and make them smell bad faster.
Never use farbic dryer sheets same thing as above.
Try using a laundry detergent with no Enzymes,Fabric Softeners,Brighteners,Scents, or Dyes.
Examples of some good brands:
Well i hope this helps some people with fleece Enjoy!
