Polyester tends to melt when ironed and fleece tends to mat, so any wrinkles that can be removed without heat should be. Unfortunately, sometimes you need to leave the house in a hurry. You can iron polyester fleece when necessary, but you should not try to use more heat than recommended to speed up the process.
Things You Will Need
-
Warm your iron on the lowest setting.
-
Spray the fleece lightly with water. Do not use the steam setting; it will be too hot for the fleece.
-
Lay a washcloth over the fleece to protect it from the heat.
-
Iron the fleece, checking frequently to avoid over-ironing and melting the polyester. Because of the low heat setting, it may take several minutes to remove isolated wrinkles and 15 minutes or more for an entire garment.
-
Restore the nap of the fleece by brushing it with a soft-bristled brush. The ironed area will appear flattened compared to the rest of the fleece.
