How to Care for Your Luxe Fleece Knit Tops

Quick answer

Wash your Luxe Fleece knit tops inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat to prevent pilling and shrinkage. Avoid fabric softener and high heat.

Diagnosis & care steps

• Symptom: pilling or fuzz: Likely cause: washing with rough fabrics (like jeans or towels) or using a high-spin cycle. Corrective action: turn the top inside out, zip any zippers, and wash with similar soft knits on a gentle cycle with cold water. Stop and switch to a front-loader if your top-loader has an agitator. Always turn fleece inside out before washing.
• Symptom: shrinkage or distorted shape: Likely cause: hot water or high heat in the dryer. Corrective action: wash in cold water only and skip the dryer entirely. Lay the top flat on a drying rack or clean towel, reshaping it while damp. Do not hang it to dry—gravity can stretch the relaxed hem and raglan sleeves. Air dry flat, never in the dryer or on a hanger.
• Symptom: loss of softness or stiff feel: Likely cause: fabric softener or dryer sheets coating the fibers. Corrective action: stop using fabric softener—it breaks down the brushed finish. Instead, add a half-cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle once a month to remove residue and restore softness. If the fleece still feels stiff after washing, it may be time to replace it. Skip fabric softener; use vinegar occasionally for a refresh.
