Nighties are one of the most comfortable clothes women love to wear at home. They help us relax, sleep well, and feel fresh. But sometimes, buying expensive nighties is not possible for everyone. Many women prefer to buy low-budget nighties because they are affordable and easily available.
However, the problem is that low-budget nighties often lose their colour, become loose, or tear quickly if we don’t take care of them properly.

1. Check the Fabric Before Buying:
The first step starts even before you buy your nighty.
- Read the label - Check the fabric of the nighty is made of. Cotton is soft and breathable but may shrink a little bit after washing. You can even choose non-shrinkable cotton nighties or other variety of nighty.
- Feel the cloth - Touch the fabric to check if it feels soft and not too thin. Very thin cloth may tear easily.
- Look at the stitching - Check if the stitches are neat and tight. Loose stitching can open up after a few washes.
2. Wash With Care:
Washing is the biggest reason why nighties lose their quality. Harsh washing makes colours fade and fabric become weak. Follow these tips to wash your nighty gently:
a) Wash Separately
Don’t wash your nighty with jeans, towels, or heavy clothes. These can rub against your nighty and damage the cloth.
If your nighty has bright colours, wash it separately so the colour doesn’t bleed onto other clothes.
b) Use Mild Detergent
- Strong detergents are good in removing tough stains but are too harsh for low quality of nighties.
- Use a mild detergent or baby detergent for soft washing. It helps keep colours bright and fabric soft.
c) Use Cold or Lukewarm Water
Hot water can shrink cotton nighties and fade colours easily.
-
Always wash your nighty in cold or lukewarm water.
d) Hand Wash if Possible
Machine washing is convenient but rough on delicate nighties.
-
Try to wash your nighty by hand. Gently rub the fabric without twisting or wringing it too hard.
3. Dry in Shade:
Sunlight is good for killing germs, but too much sunlight fades the colour of your nighty.
After washing, gently squeeze out water and hang your nighty in a shaded area.
-
Don’t hang it under direct sunlight for many hours.
-
Never dry your nighty in a dryer if it is delicate. The heat from the dryer can damage the fabric.
4. Avoid Bleach and Strong Chemicals:
Some people think bleach makes clothes look clean and bright. But it’s not good for low-budget nighties.
Bleach weakens the fabric and causes holes over time.
-
Avoid using strong stain removers unless your nighty is white and bleach safe.
-
If you get a stain then try removing it with mild soap and water first.
5. Iron With Care:
Cotton nighties often look crumpled after washing, so many women like to iron them. But high heat can burn or damage delicate fabrics.
Set your iron to the right temperature for the fabric type.
-
Use a low or medium heat setting.
-
Place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and your nighty to protect it.
-
Avoid ironing elastic parts like the neck or sleeves directly.
6. Store Your Nighty Properly:
Even the way you store your nighty makes a big difference in how long it lasts.
Keep your nighty in a clean and dry place.
-
Fold it neatly instead of hanging on it, if the fabric stretches easily.
-
Don't stuff your nighties tightly in a small shelf. Air circulation helps keep clothes fresh.
-
Keep away from sharp objects that can cause cuts or holes.
7. Rotate Your Nighties:
If you wear the same nighty every day, it will wear out faster.
Buy two or three nighties and wear them in rotation.
-
This way, each nighty gets time to "rest" and you reduce the wear and tear.
-
Even if you are on a low budget, buying one extra nighty saves you money in the long run because each one lasts longer.
8. Do Small Repairs Immediately:
Sometimes small issues like loose threads, tiny holes, or open stitches can become bigger problems if ignored.
Check your nighty regularly for any loose threads or small tears.
-
Stitch up tiny holes quickly with needle and thread.
-
Even if you’re not good at stitching, basic repairs are simple and save your nighty from becoming completely useless.
9. Avoid Excessive Perfume or Deodorant Sprays:
Perfumes and deodorants have chemicals that can stain or damage the fabric.
Spray perfume on your body, not directly on your nighty.
-
Let it dry before wearing your nighty.
-
This keeps your nighty fresh and prevents yellowish stains.
10. Be Careful While Cooking or Working:
Sometimes, women wear their nighty while cooking or doing housework. But this can be risky.
Oil stains and kitchen spices can leave permanent marks on your nighty.
-
Sharp objects like knives or scissors can cause tears.
-
Try wearing an apron or change into older clothes while cooking to protect your good nighty.
