Care Instructions
Cotton nighties are typically easy to care for, but it's important to follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure that your nighty retains its quality and durability. Here are some general care instructions for a cotton nighty:
- Washing: It's usually recommended to machine wash cotton nighties in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle or delicate cycle. Avoid using hot water, as it can cause cotton fabric to shrink. Use a mild detergent that is suitable for delicate fabrics.
- Drying: Air drying is typically the best option for cotton nighties. Hang your nighty to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Avoid using high heat or over-drying in a dryer, as it can cause cotton fabric to shrink or become damaged.
- Ironing: Cotton fabric may wrinkle, so ironing may be required to smooth out any wrinkles. Use a medium to low heat setting on your iron and iron the nighty inside out to protect the fabric. Avoid using high heat, as it can scorch or damage cotton fabric.
- Bleaching: Avoid using chlorine bleach on cotton nighties, as it can weaken the fabric and cause it to yellow. If needed, use a non-chlorine bleach or a bleach alternative that is safe for colored fabrics, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Storing: Store your cotton nighty in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent color fading or yellowing. Avoid hanging it on a sharp or rough surface that could cause snags or damage to the fabric.
- Special care: Some cotton nighties may have delicate trims, lace, or embellishments that require special care. Check the manufacturer's care instructions for any specific guidelines on caring for these details, such as hand washing or spot cleaning.
Following these care instructions can help extend the lifespan of your cotton nighty and keep it looking fresh and comfortable for years to come.
