Polar Fleece

When winter temperatures drop, a warm layer becomes part of the daily routine. For many people, that means reaching for a favourite polar fleece.

Polar fleece is popular because it's lightweight, comfortable, and warm. Its brushed, knitted construction gives it a soft feel, but it also makes the fabric more prone to pilling over time. Those small fabric balls can make a fleece look worn long before it has reached the end of its life.

The good news is that proper care can help reduce pilling and keep your fleece looking its best. Unlike heavier winter coats that may only need occasional cleaning, polar fleece benefits from regular care to remove dirt and oils that can increase friction and contribute to pilling.

Whether the care label recommends washing or dry cleaning, we clean polar fleece using methods that help minimize additional pilling. In many cases, we can also remove existing pills with specialized de-pilling tools, helping restore your garment's appearance and extend its life.
