What not to wear/wash? Say NO to fleece.

Patagonia do a bag called a Guppy Friend. Twenty five pounds. Reduces fibres lost in washing.

In case Gransnet delete the above post, if you google Micro fleece washing bag, you will find one to buy.

Ok found it, not sure if I’m allowed to say the name of it but it’s called a Guppy Bag, it’s quite expensive, but if you were going to throw your fleeces away then i guess it’s a saving straight away. Not sure where to buy it in the UK though. Maybe there are other ones available? The irony is that the bag is Plastic!
But it seems to work according to the reports.

I think you can buy a bag to put them in when you wash them, to keep the fibres in, I’m trying to find it on Dr Google,,,,,

It is not really in favour with me although true to say I did have one fleece jacket which served me well,but having read these comments, I am less likely to even consider another garment in this fleece.
We live and learn for sure......thanks for the tip Nananancy.

Sorry, I realise I will be castigated for this, but I am not prepared to get rid of my fleeces yet. They stand up to wear and tear better than wool sweaters.

Thanks Nananancy, I didn't know about this. Perhaps this will make my hubby stop wearing the fleece that he lives in!

Yes you’re right NanaNancy we had a campaign in our WI at the end of last year.
I do have one old fleece that I use in the garden but I won’t be buying any more and I’m now very reluctant to even wash the one I have.

I didn't know this either but unfortunately can't wear wool so the fleece stays - on the plus side I don't wear if very often so it doesn't get washed much!

Thanks for this info.I don't have any fleece at the moment but certainly won't buy any more.
