Make your swimsuit last longer
Here are some tips to help prolong the life of your swimsuit:
- Rinse after use: After each wear, rinse your swimsuit in cool tap water to remove chlorine, saltwater, sunscreen, and any other substances that may damage the fabric.
- Hand wash: Avoid using a washing machine, as it can be too harsh on delicate swimwear fabrics. Instead, gently hand wash your swimsuit with a mild detergent.
- Use a gentle detergent: Choose a detergent specifically designed for delicates or swimwear. Harsh chemicals can cause the fabric to break down more quickly.
- Avoid wringing or twisting: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can stretch and damage the fibers.
- Dry flat: Lay your swimsuit flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Hanging it to dry can cause it to stretch out of shape, and sunlight can fade the colors.
- Store properly: Store your swimsuit flat in a dry place, rather than leaving it bunched up in a bag or drawer. Avoid storing it when it's still damp, as this can lead to mold or mildew.
By following these simple steps, you can help ensure that your swimsuit stays looking great for many swims to come!
