How to Stop a New Fleece Blanket From Shedding
- 1). Pour a 1/2 cup of mild laundry detergent into the washer, and fill the washer with cool or lukewarm water. High temperatures leads to pilling, and ruins the fabric's finish.
- 2). Place the fleece blanket in the washer, and promptly remove it after the washing cycle is complete.
- 3). Hang the blanket on a drying rack to air dry, or place the blanket in a dryer on a low-heat setting to avoid exposing the blanket to high levels of heat.
