Washing corduroy pants to keep them looking new

Corduroy pants are very trendy, coming back into fashion every couple of years, but they tend to wear out quickly when they are washed more than a few times. But with special care, you can keep your cord pants – or jackets – looking like new for much longer.

When you wash them, always turn them inside out first. This will help prevent them from “de-fuzzing”.

If they are brightly colored, add a few tablespoons of salt with the first wash. This will help keep the color brighter for longer.
