HOW TO WASH SWIMSUITS

Swimsuits are typically made from synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, and spandex. These materials are durable and quick-drying, which makes them ideal for swimwear. However, these materials are also susceptible to damage from chlorine, salt water, and sun exposure. To prolong the life of your swimsuit, it’s important to care for it properly. That means washing it by hand in cool water with mild soap after each use. You should also avoid washing it with other clothing, as this can damage the material. If you follow these simple care instructions, your swimsuit will last longer and stay looking new. Plus, you’ll help reduce the environmental impact of the swimwear industry

HAND WASHING OR MACHINE WASHING?

Are you wondering whether you should hand wash or machine wash your swimwear? With a little bit of care, you can extend the life of your swimsuit so that it looks great for seasons to come. The key to maintaining your swimsuit is to avoid fabric-damaging practices, such as machine washing with harsh detergents, tumble drying on high heat, or using bleach. These will all break down the fabric of your swimsuit and cause it to lose its shape, color, and elasticity. Hand washing is the best way to clean your swimsuit and preserve its quality. Use a mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics and be sure to rinse well. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric after washing.
