3timestumblrBathing suits are unlike any other garments. They are made differently from your everyday clothes as swimwear is worn under different conditions, such as in high salt water.
What's more, swimwear is constructed of unique fabrications that require extra care. Follow these simple washing tips to keep swimwear vibrant and durable.
Always read the tag on your swimsuit before washing and drying. Always opt for the manufacturer's directions.
Before cleaning, rinse the swimsuit under a cold water tap for a few minutes to remove any sand, chlorine, salt and oils.
Fill a sink with cold water and a tablespoon of a gentle detergent, and soak swimsuit for 30 minutes. Try a specific swimsuit washer, or substitute for a baby shampoo. Never put your swimsuit in the washer, as the agitation will break down the material quickly.
Thoroughly rinse the swimsuit in more cold water until it runs clear, free of detergent bubbles.
Gentle squeeze excess water from the swimsuit, or lay flat swimsuit in a towel and roll to remove excess moisture. Do not 'wring' the swimsuit out as it ruins elasticity.
Lay the swimsuit out to dry, out of direct sunlight. Overexposure to sunlight can damage the fabric or fade the suit.
If you follow these tips you will have a new looking swimsuit for years to come!
