How to Care for Polar Fleece Fabric to Maintain Softness and Durability

Polar fleece is a warm, cozy fabric that people love to use for clothing and blankets. At Rarfusion, we understand the importance of the fabric staying nice and lasting a long time. When not cared for properly, polar fleece can lose its softness — or even get damaged. This can make it less comfy and shorten the amount of time you’re able to wear it. Proper care for polar fleece involves washing it carefully, drying it right and avoiding those things that may harm the fibers. This material remains soft and durable when you treat it gently, so you can experience the best of both worlds with every use. Let us discuss the proper way on how to wash polar fleece, especially in bundles, and what’s the best temperature to keep the fabric away from harm but still soft. 

How to Clean Polar Fleece Fabric for Wholesale Buyers

If you purchase polar fleece in bulk, as many companies do, it is very important to wash it correctly. Polar fleece can be so soft and fuzzy, but if you wash it the wrong way, the fabric may stiffen or begin to pill (those little balls of fabric that form on the surface). To prevent that you should use a light washing technique. Begin by pulling the polar fleece away from thick fabrics such as denim or towels, which can chafe against the fabric and cause damage. Wash in mild detergents, avoiding one that contains strong chemicals or bleach. Bleach can weaken the fibers and cause the fabric to disintegrate. Also, don’t use fabric softener. So too can it sound as though it would serve to keep the fleece soft, but the coating it imparts keeps the fabric from breathing and makes it less soft over time. Wash in your washing machine on a gentle cycle is best. Then, if you have a large shipment of wholesale orders to process, don’t load up all those groupers at once. The cloth needs room to circulate and thus be cleaned without winding or becoming distorted. DRY Gently tumble dry with very little heat. Some businesses drape the material or use a low-heat cycle on the dryer. This helps the fibers from shrinking or otherwise being damaged. If you’re washing and drying polar fleece frequently due to bulk, be sure to check the fabric after each cycle. If it’s begun to feel coarse or less thick, it might require a new care routine to remain in shape. We have seen countless Rarfusion customers successfully keep their polar fleece looking and feeling new by following these easy washing instructions. 

What Temperature to Wash Polar Fleece Without Ruining It? 

Beware of temperature when caring for polar fleece. It can damage fabric softness and strength if the water or dryer heat are too high. The fibers are made of polyester, and the cloth can melt or shrink if they are treated roughly. So, the safest is to use cold or warm water. Wash in cold water because it works well and doesn’t damage the fabric. Warm water works just as well, though it shouldn’t be prohibitively hot. Hot water may seem better at cleaning, but it can also stiffen the fleece and cause it to shrink. It’s risky to use a high heat when drying. Heat causes the fabric to shrink, loses its fluffy, or even melts a bit. That’s why most analysts, such as the team at Rarfusion, suggest low heat or air-drying. “Air drying” is the fabric being dried without a dryer. It’s the longer route, but it also helps maintain your polar fleece as soft and strong. If you can’t avoid the dryer, choose the lowest heat setting available. Some businesses don’t have time to wait for air drying, so this is perhaps a good compromise. Also remember, do not iron polar fleece because it is not heat-resistant. If the fabric gets crumpled, shaking it out or hanging it immediately after washing usually does the trick. The incorrect temperature is often the culprit when polar fleece feels rough or shrinks when washed. Polar fleece is great because it's so soft, but keeping the water below 30°C (86°F) and making sure to dry with care will ensure your polar fleece remains as such for years to come. Here at Rarfusion, we always advise customers to be mindful of temperature when it comes to caring for their investment in polar fleece fabric. 

Polar Fleece Fabric Wholesale Production

If you are dealing with polar fleece fabric in wholesale production It is very important to wash it the right way. A lot of people make simple mistakes that not only damages the fabric, they also remove its softness and robustness. One mistake I see often is the use of hot water. Polar fleece must be laundered in cold or warm water, as hot water will cause the fibers to shrink or become abrasive. Another pitfall is using too much detergent. Some people believe that it is more soap that will clean better when they are cleaning many fleece items at once, but using more detergent can cause a sticky film to cake on the fabric. This dirt makes the fleece hard and can lead to wearing of it away more quickly. 

Some people even add fabric softeners or bleach when washing polar fleece. Fabric softeners may seem like a good idea for keeping clothes soft, but they can also coat the fibers of your fleece and make it inhibit breath ability. Not only is bleach very hard on clothes, breaking down the fibers and causing colors to fade and fabric to weaken. When washing polar fleece, avoid both of these. Another faux pas is drying the fleece on high heat. High heat can break down the fibers in the fabric and cause the fleece to shrink or lose its fluffy feel. Instead, put the fleece in the tumble on low heat or air dry. 

In bulk production where lots of sweaters get washed together, the fleece items should be sorted by color and type to avoid color transfer and damage from stiffer fabric. In addition, it is pretty hard to avoid pilling or fuzz balls on the outer surface if you don’t turn your cloth outside before washing. By following these easy steps, polar fleece will stay soft, warm and in good condition for years of use. At Rarfusion we educate all of our partners to make sure that none of these common washing mistakes are done, so the fleece will stay looking great and last longer something very important in wholesale outdoor apparel.
