Using a Washing Machine
1. Fill the washer with very hot water. Add liquid detergent about a cup.
Turn off the washer. Gently put your fleece in the washer tub. Close the lid
and let the fleece soak for about 45 minutes.

2. Next, turn washer to the end of the SPIN cycle. Spin the water out of
fleece. Lift the fleece out and set it aside.

3. Fill the washer tub with very hot water again. Put the fleece back in and
let soak for about 30 minutes.

4. Turn washer to the end of the SPIN cycle. Spin the water out of the
fleece. At this point, sort out the fleece that is clean enough to dry. If
fleece is especially fine or dirty, you may need to repeat the wash and spin
steps a few more times. Mohair often needs multiple washes as does merino,
rambouillet and sometimes other finer wools.

Use hot water with about one-half cup of white vinegar and soak fleece 30
minutes for the last rinse, then spin it out.

Spread the fleece to air dry on a towel or drying rack.
