Corduroy which has characteristic curly hair. Some people think that corduroy items are difficult to wash because of its unique fleece. In this article, I will introduce how to wash without damaging the texture of corduroy, tips to prevent wrinkles after washing, and how to iron.
Check before washing the corduroy.
Before you wash Corduroy’s clothes, check whether you can wash them in the washing machine or not.
Can I wash it in the washing machine?
First, check the laundry sign on the corduroy clothes. That will let you know whether you can wash it in the washing machine or hand wash it.
If there is a number mark in the washing machine or laundry rack, you can wash it in the washing machine. However, if the washing machine is marked as “weak” or if there is a horizontal line under the washing rack, it is necessary to wash it with a weak current such as a fashionable clothing course or a dry course.
If there is a mark that says “hand wash” or a mark that puts your hand in the laundry basket, you should stop using the washing machine and hand wash it.
Won’t the color fade?
I want to test it lightly before washing to prevent the clothes from fading. Apply the laundry detergent to the inconspicuous part of the corduroy garment and lightly press it with a white cloth after 5 minutes. If you see the color fading, avoid washing it with other clothes.
How to wash the corduroy.
When you wash your corduroy clothes, prepare a nice neutral detergent and laundry net such as ‘Emar’ or ‘Acron’. I recommend you to use fabric softener to finish your hair smoothly.
