Quick answer
Wash your Unbound Fleece Sweatshirt inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air-dry it to prevent pilling and keep the fleece soft. For the Storage Bag, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and empty the clear top pouch before storing to avoid scratches.
Why fleece needs a gentler routine
Fleece is a knit fabric that can pill when rubbed against itself or rough surfaces. Turning the sweatshirt inside out and avoiding high heat in the dryer are the two biggest steps to prevent pilling. The Unbound Fleece Sweatshirt is made with anti-pilling fleece, but proper care extends its smooth finish.
The Storage Bag is designed for easy storage at home or on the go, with a soft, packable structure. Its pleated design and clear zippered pouch make it convenient, but the bag is not machine-washable. Wipe it clean instead to protect the lining and the clear pouch.
When to wash vs. spot-clean
Wash the sweatshirt after several wears or when visibly soiled. For the Storage Bag, spot-clean only when needed; avoid submerging it in water. If the bag’s clear pouch becomes smudged, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately.
Step-by-step care routine
- Prep the sweatshirt: Turn the sweatshirt inside out, close the half-zip, and fasten any hook-and-loop closures (if present) to prevent snags. Place it in a mesh laundry bag if you have one. Check the care label first; if it differs, follow the label.
- Wash on a gentle cycle: Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle or delicate cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach, which can break down fleece fibers. Common mistake: using hot water, which can shrink or damage the fleece.
- Skip the dryer: Lay the sweatshirt flat to air-dry or hang it on a padded hanger. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove while slightly damp. High heat is the main cause of pilling and shrinkage in fleece.
- Spot-clean the Storage Bag: Empty the bag completely, including the clear top pouch. Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then air-dry fully before closing. Never machine-wash or submerge the bag; the clear pouch and lining can be damaged.
- Store both properly: Keep the sweatshirt folded in a drawer or on a shelf away from direct sunlight. Store the Storage Bag empty and unzipped in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape. Avoid storing the bag in damp areas to prevent mildew.
