Fleece preparation driving me MAD!
I purchased 2 fleece throws last week, and since then I have washed it 4 or so times and soaked it overnight yet still it isnt wicking through - just pooling on top.
Am I doing something wrong? I put the fleece in the washing machine, dont add anything (should I be?), then let it dry on the line before testing it.
I just want to get it working!

I washed mine twice. First time with bleach, then while still in the washer washed it a second time with vinegar. Then dried it on the air setting of the drier. No pooling liquids.
Just my two cents. Good luck! I can't wait to go back to my fleece soon here (have to use shavings over the winter).

I am going to try that GP, am also going to put it on a warmer setting. Hopefully that will help some.
I put a lot of vinegar in the water and turned the setting to hot. so hopefully this works..
Same here Aertyn. Wash cold and "slosh" in the vinegar, I just guess about how much goes in, but is relatively the same each load.
I generally wash cold as well, just read on GPC that people have had luck on a warmer setting.
IT WORKS! After 7 washes (4 of which were on cold, 3 on warm) and one overnight soaking we are finally wicking properly. YAY!
