After pre-treating, launder the entire piece in warm 6uds and rinse. Thorough rinsing is particularly important for corduroys—such as raincoats and snowsuits—which have been fateated’-vHth '^ waterrepellent finish. The reason is that suds act as a wetting agent, and any left in the fabric will cut down on waterrepellency.
To soften the fabric and fluff up the pile of corduroy, add fabric softener to the final rinse each time an item is laundered. These fabric softeners or conditioners—designed to make fabrics softer, fluffier, and easier to ironare particularly effective for increasing the bulk or “loft" of pile fabrics such as corduroy.
To prevent ‘setting in" deep wrinkles, try to avoid prolonged spinning or twisting— especially if the garments will be line-dried. Corduroy may be safely dried in a _gas or electric clothes dryer at a medium heat setting; in fact, this is beneficial in fluffing up the pile. Be sure to remove 6uch items while still slightly damp. To help retain the shoulder shape of shirts, jackets, and dresses, drape them over hang ers to complete drying. For line-drying first straighten and smooth each piece to its original size and shape; Whether corduroy is dried by machine or line, follow up by shaking it well and then brushing in one direction with a soft brush to fluff up the pile. Pressing should not be necessary; but, if desired, hold a steam iron just slight ly above the right surface of the fabric so that the steam can "coax" up the nap.
