1. Machine Wash Carefully: Turn your corduroy clothing inside out before washing to minimize friction and protect the texture. Use a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent shrinking and preserve color.
2. Avoid Overcrowding: Don't overload the washing machine when washing corduroy items. This prevents excessive friction and helps maintain the fabric's texture.
3. Use Mild Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent to avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric. Avoid using bleach, as it can cause discoloration.
4. Air Dry: Hang your corduroy items to air dry rather than using a dryer. High heat can cause shrinking and damage the fabric's texture. If necessary, you can tumble dry on a low heat setting, but remove the items while they are still slightly damp to prevent over-drying.
5. Iron Carefully: If you need to iron your corduroy clothing, turn them inside out and use a low to medium heat setting. Place a pressing cloth or a towel over the fabric to protect it from direct heat.
6. Brush Regularly: Use a soft-bristled clothing brush to gently remove any dirt, lint, or debris from the surface of the corduroy fabric. This helps maintain its appearance and prevents matting of the fibers.
7. Store Properly: Hang corduroy items in a well-ventilated area to prevent them from becoming musty. Avoid folding them for long periods to prevent creasing, but if you need to fold them, do so carefully to avoid crushing the ridges.
