Yet More Fleece Issues

[Hank288]

So after giving up with the micro fleeces, I have now been to the range and brought 4 of their polar fleeces. I have seen the fleeces I have got in a few of the members pictures so I know that they should work. I am still having issues with them being waterproof even after being washed tons of times. I have washed them twice at 60. 4 times at 95 degrees. I have also tried washing with vinegar, with washing powder and without. I am literally at a loss as to what I am doing wrong.
This is the wash powder I am using: http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webs...s-d1-_-asdacom-dsk-_-hp#/product/910001427561 it is baby sensitive washing powder.
2 of the fleeces have started to absorb in tiny patches but only as a single layer and will not absorb if I fold It over. I am also laying the fleeces over 2 towels as the absorbant layer to soak up the water.

Can anyone suggest anything else? I am now at an utter loss.

Your washing powder is not strong enough. Try washing in bleach with hot water. Rinse well before putting in the cage.

One layer of fleece is better than two.

i wouldn't risk using bleach personally. we use the co-op non bio laundry liquid and that seems to work well for us. (cruelty free aswell for those interested )

are you leaving them to air dry after washing?
