[header] How to wash corduroy [title] Avoid washing corduroy with lint-producing fabrics. [step] Towels (terrycloth), fleece, felt, and wool fabrics produce lint. Lint fibers can become attached to your corduroy, making the garment dingy and dull. 
Separate clothes made with any of these fabrics into their own laundry load. Do not wash corduroy with such materials.
