We thoroughly enjoy our beautiful bikinis and swimsuits during the summer. But how do we make sure these items last for years? In this blog we will tell you exactly how best to treat your favorite swimwear.
How do you maintain swimwear?
- Rinse your swimwear with cold water as soon as possible after you finish swimming. The salt water and chlorine in the pool can weaken the fabric.
- Apply sunscreen half an hour in advance. The oil in sunscreen can stain your swimwear.
- Do not dry your swimwear in full sun. This may cause the color to fade.
- If your swimwear really needs to be washed, wash it by hand at up to 30 degrees and a mild detergent. If it really has to go in the machine choose a cold program and make sure it cannot get tangled with other items.
- DO NOT iron your swimwear and NEVER put it in the dryer!
- Do not hang swimwear by the straps to let it dry. This allows it to stretch. Dry swimwear lying down.
- Do not wring out your swimwear to get the water out; this can cause shape loss.
