Washing the Nike Tech Fleece
The Nike Tech Fleece is a bit of a different animal when it comes to washing it. Most importantly, you don’t want to put it in the dryer as the heat will cause the fabric to break down and ruin the garment.
Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water
To clean your Nike Tech Fleece, fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Gently agitate the garment in the water and then allow it to soak for up to 30 minutes. After soaking, rinse the garment thoroughly in cool water to remove any remaining detergent. Finally, lay your Nike Tech Fleece flat to dry.
Add a small amount of mild detergent
When you first get your Nike Tech Fleece, it’s important to wash it before you wear it. This will help remove any chemicals or treatments that may be on the fabric.
To wash your Nike Tech Fleece, add a small amount of mild detergent to a basin of warm water. Swish the garment around in the water and then let it soak for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, rinse the garment well in cool water.
Once your garment is rinsed, you can either air dry it or put it in the dryer on a low heat setting.
Submerge the Nike Tech Fleece in the water
Submerge the Nike Tech Fleece in the water. Use cold water and a mild laundry detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener. Gently massage the fleece with your hands to loosen any dirt or debris that may be attached to the fabric.
Gently massage the fabric to loosen any dirt or debris
Use a mild detergent and run the jacket under cold water. Do not use hot water, as this could cause the fabric to shrink. Gently massage the fabric to loosen any dirt or debris. If your jacket is extremely dirty, you may need to pre-treat it with a stain remover. Be sure to read the care label before pre-treating.
Once the jacket is clean, run it under cold water again to remove any detergent residue. Squeeze the excess water from the fabric and then lay it flat to dry. Do not put your Nike Tech Fleece in the dryer, as this will damage the fabric.
Rinse the Nike Tech Fleece in clean, lukewarm water
Rinse the Nike Tech Fleece in clean, lukewarm water. Use a small amount of mild detergent designed for athletic wear. Apply the detergent to any areas that are particularly stained or soiled. Gently massage the detergent into the fabric, being careful not to overwork it. Allow the fleece to soak in the soapy water for a few minutes before rinsing it out completely.
Remove any excess water by gently pressing the fabric between your hands
To machine-wash your Nike Tech Fleece, start by removing any excess water by gently pressing the fabric between your hands. Then, turn the garment inside out and place it in a mesh bag or pillowcase to protect it in the washing machine. Wash on a cold, delicate cycle with gentle detergent, and remove the fleece from the washing machine as soon as the cycle is finished. Press any remaining water out of the fabric by rolling it in a towel, and then lay it flat to air dry.
Drying the Nike Tech Fleece
There are a few different ways that you can dry your Nike Tech Fleece. You can air dry it, tumble dry it on low, or line dry it. Air drying it will take the longest, but it is the safest method. Tumble drying it on low will take less time, but you run the risk of shrinking the fleece. Line drying it is a good middle ground.

Once the Nike Tech Fleece is dry, you can fold it or store it in a drawer until you’re ready to wear it again.
Roll the towel up, starting at one end of the fabric
Roll the towel up, starting at one end of the fabric. continue to roll until you have a long, thin tube. If your fabric is especially wet, you may need to use 2 towels. Place the rolled-up towels on a hanger, and drape the hanger over a doorknob or shower rod so that the fabric can drip-dry.
Gently press the towel to remove any remaining water
Use a clean, absorbent towel to remove as much water as possible from the Nike Tech Fleece. Gently press the towel to remove any remaining water. Do not wring or twist the towel, as this could damage the fabric.
Unroll the towel and lay the Nike Tech Fleece flat to dry
