Quick answer
Machine wash your sherpa fleece blanket hoodie on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent pilling and maintain fluffiness.
Why proper care matters for sherpa fleece
Sherpa fleece is a looped polyester fabric designed to mimic sheepskin. It is soft and warm, but the loops can snag, mat, or pill if washed with hot water, harsh detergents, or high heat. The Bedsure Sherpa Fleece Blanket Hoodie, available in three sizes for a custom fit, uses this fabric to deliver cozy warmth. Proper washing keeps the fleece fluffy and the hoodie shape intact.
Step-by-step washing and care routine
- Pre-treat stains and close fasteners: Check for spots and dab them with a mild detergent diluted in cold water. Zip any zippers and turn the hoodie inside out to protect the fleece surface. Never use bleach or fabric softener—they break down polyester fibers and reduce fluffiness.
- Wash on gentle cycle with cold water: Place the hoodie in the machine alone or with similar light-colored fleece items. Set the machine to a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water (below 86°F/30°C). Use a small amount of liquid detergent made for delicates. Hot water shrinks and distorts the fleece loops, leading to permanent matting.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry: Remove the hoodie promptly after the wash cycle ends. Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting, or hang it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Fluff the fabric with your hands halfway through drying to restore loft. High heat melts polyester fibers and causes pilling. If you use a dryer, add a clean tennis ball to help re-fluff the sherpa.
- Store flat or loosely folded: Once completely dry, fold the hoodie loosely and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it for long periods—gravity can stretch the shoulders and distort the shape. Never store damp fleece, as moisture encourages mildew and odor.
