I can NOT get this stupid fleece to wick. Any help would be appreciated! I'm trying on 3 types of fleece, all from Joanne's, all 100% poly:
- Black solid "no-pill"
- Print from a "No-sew" throw kit
- Pink solid "Blizzard" from the rolls
I have washed these dang things over 10 (maybe 15) times, using some or all of the following:
- Hot water
- Cold water
- White vingar
- Natural bleach
- Real bleach
- Costco detergent (without fabric softener)
- Blue Dawn
I've rinsed multiple times after each wash to ensure there's no scent or residue left on the fleece. I've tried the diaper stripping technique. I've soaked them for 24 hrs in the dawn/bleach solution, then ran through rinse cycles with plain water. I've not used any dryer sheets in the dryer. They look beat to hell! Yet the water just sits there, mocking me! I've left droplets sit for up to 15 minutes before cursing them and throwing the fleece across the room! I've tried it on this side, I've tried it on that side, I've tried with this towel underneath, and that towel underneath!
I've searched the internet high and low for some secret, any secret, that will reveal what I'm doing wrong! I sit envious as I watch youtube videos of liquid just vanishing through fleece, wondering if I'll EVER know the satisfaction!
Please, if anyone can help. I'm just about bald from pulling my hair out. Thanks!
