Removing Detergent Residue from Fleece?

I used way too much soap powder to clean my fleece. I was trying to wick it for my guinea pigs. I realize now that I must break down the fleece by stripping it. Will my fleece come back? Or is it too late? I pretty much used an entire tub of OxiClean on my fleece and now I'm soaking it in distilled white vinegar to break down the soap residue. What should I do?

I am not clear on your question so if this is not what you are looking for, I apologize. Rinses with vinegar and cold water in the washer with an extra spin and rinse should get it out. It may take several times. The heavy washing can ruin the fleece which would render it unusable. Please make sure you get a clear rinse before you let any animals near it as chewing or licking residue can be dangerous. Best of luck with this. Post back how it goes. Thanks!

You may have to wash it many times to get rid of the soap powder.

Next time you have to wash it, try using liquid detergent instead of powder. Put the detergent in when the washer is filling up.
