Care Tips: How to Wash Corduroys So They Last

#1 Corduroy’s nap and material tend to attract lint, so you should always turn them inside out to protect the textured side. Also, try not to wash your corduroys with any material that produces a lot of lint such as terry materials (sweaters, jackets, towels).

#2 Before washing, read the care label to make sure the fabric is machine washable. Always choose a gentle cycle. If your corduroy is of a dark colour, wash it in cold water to avoid colour fading. If it’s of a lighter colour, you can wash in warm water – read the care label to be sure.

#3 Tumble dry on extra-low for just a bit before you hang up your corduroys to dry. Also, not that corduroys have a tendency to shrink if you dry them in the heat for too long.

#4 Finally, after removing your corduroys from the dryer, shake it out and hang.

#5 You don’t need to iron your corduroys after they are dry. If you want to, do it with them inside out.
