Nothing I did alleviated the problem I had with one that was high pile and textured too.
Feline, I wonder if you happen to remember which particular brands of the Minkee-style fabric you used. Minkee is a brand name for that style/texture of fabric; Cuddle is another brand name. I find a many people use "Minkee" the same way they use "Kleenex" or "Xerox". I'd like to know which brand(s) are the good quality ones.
