Hey guys,

I need some advice on what I'm doing wrong, because I bought two different shades of blue fleece from Spotlight, and they are BOTH Husky brand (100% polyester anti-pill and polar). The navy blue fleece wicked straight away after 3 washes, but the light blue hasn't wicked at all and I've washed it 5 times now.

What am I doing wrong? I tried testing the 'wicking' on both sides of the fleece but the water just puddles each time. I used Spree 'summer breeze' washing powder (yes, I know it shouldn't be scented, I didn't find that out until I used it :( )
It has no added fabric softener either.

Thank you in advance for any help!

I know this was a few weeks ago, but just in case, you could try washing/soaking it in some vinegar and water.

I also get the same kind of fleece as you do from the same place, most of the time is wicks after a few washes, if not you may have to soak it in vinegar (As @mari11 said).
