kind of an odd topic, but we have such diverse knowledge here it doesn't hurt to ask. 

I have a hoodie that is made of polyester fleece.  Although it says "anti-pill" polyester fleece, it does pill - I have an older hoodie made by the same company.  (Pilling is when you get little balls on fabric.)

Normally, the care instruction is wash warm in like colors/fabrics and flat dry.   But that's how I took care of the old one.   I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other methods of cleaning fleece?  Or maybe knows of a way to "un-pill" it and fluff it up again?

Thanks,
Cynde

As Sakina mentioned, the shaver works really well.  I have one that I use on my sweaters and my fleece.  Another method that I have heard of, but not tried , is using a razor- like one of those cheap plastic handled ones- just carefully run it over the garment and clean the blades out as you go.  A friend of mine says she does this and it works for her, but I really like the shaver.  I think I found mine actually in a grocery store, it was one of those odd displays you come across.

Here's a link for one:

You might also make sure that you have turned it inside out before washing.  That helps reduce the friction that causes the pilling.

I do the same thing, either I handwash these items or I turn them inside-out.
