Introduction
Swimsuits are some of the most delicate items in your wardrobe. Salt water, chlorine, sun and sand can quickly ruin their color, elasticity and shape. With proper care, you can keep your favorite swimsuit beautiful, elastic and comfortable for more than one season.
1. Rinse immediately after wearing
After the sea or pool , don't leave your swimsuit wet .
What to do:
-
rinse with cold water
-
remove salt, chlorine and sand
-
don't rub it
👉 This is the most important step.
2. Wash your swimsuit by hand only.
The washing machine is the number one enemy of swimwear.
Proper washing:
-
lukewarm water
-
a little gentle detergent
-
without softener
❌ No centrifuge
❌ No bleaching agents
3. Never twist or squeeze
The twist:
-
stretches elastic fibers
-
deforms the cups
-
shortens the life of the swimsuit
How is it correct:
-
press lightly with a towel
-
let it drain on its own
4. Dry in the shade and horizontally
The sun bleaches colors and hardens matter.
Best:
-
drying in the shade
-
on a flat surface
-
away from radiators
❌ Do not use a dryer
❌ Don't hang on the straps
5. Be careful with creams and oils
Sunscreen products:
-
leave stains
-
break down tissues
-
affect elasticity
Tip:
-
wait for the cream to absorb
-
then put on your swimsuit
6. Don't sit for a long time in a wet swimsuit
Besides being harmful to health, this:
-
damages the fibers
-
retains salt and bacteria
-
accelerates wear
Change your swimsuit as soon as possible.
7. Store properly
After the season:
-
wash carefully
-
dry completely
-
store in a dry place
If there are cups:
-
don't bend them
-
don't pressure them
8. Not all swimsuits are the same
Lace, embossed or decorated models require even more gentle care .
The finer the fabric, the more carefully you need to maintain it.
Conclusion
Taking care of your swimwear isn't complicated, but it is crucial. With a few easy habits, you can maintain:
-
the color
-
the form
-
comfort
and look like new for much longer.
