Fleece Why is this fleece taking so long?

[jessdb]

This is like the 6th or 7th time I've washed these pieces of fleece, and normally it only takes about 4. What's up? They're 100% polyester anti-pill fleece, just like everything else I have and I'm washing it the exact same way so why is it taking this many washes??

What are you washing them in?

What are you washing them in?

A small amount of detergent and 1/2 a cup to a cup of vinegar on a full cycle through the wash and dryer each time

You'll never get it to wick that way. Put the full amount of strong detergent, a lot of bleach, and wash it on the heavy duty cycle in hot water. Fleece is nearly indestructible. If that doesn't work, soak it overnight in bleach and hot water, then wash again. It doesn't fade, it doesn't ravel, you can't hurt it.

Its always worked before which is why I'm thrown off, but whatever I just started another cycle your way so hopefully this works!
