Your swimsuit is more than just a piece of fabric; it’s your go-to summer essential, your trusted companion for beach days, poolside lounging, and tropical vacations. Whether you’ve invested in high-quality swimwear or you have a favorite piece you just can’t let go of, proper care is key to making it last.
Here’s your ultimate guide to swimsuit care, ensuring your favorite pieces stay vibrant, comfortable, and ready for every adventure.
Avoid contact with chemical products
When it's time to put sunscreen or suntan on, try not to spread it on your swimwear, so you avoid it getting stains.
Hand Wash & Air dry
Even if you use the delicate washer machine setting, you’re still taking the risk of damaging the fabric fibers. You don’t want your swimsuit to look crooked and stiff, right? The fabric was made only to endure the summer heat!
Use only gentle detergent
The chemicals in some detergents can eat away at the fabric, which will eventually break down the shape and elasticity of the swimsuit. We recommend using a gentle detergent.
Avoid rough surfaces
To reduce the chance of pilling—the tiny, fuzzy balls that appear on the surface of the garment—we advise you put a towel down before sitting on any rough or scratchy surfaces.
Avoid sunlight overexposure
When swimsuits are exposed to excessive sunlight and artificial light, they fade more easily, especially those with more vibrant colors. White or lighter shades, exposed under the same conditions, tend to become transparent over time.
Don't store a wet swimsuit
Make sure your swimsuit is completely dry before being stored, as any sign of moisture is enough for the proliferation of fungi that cause mold and can even trigger diseases.
Swimsuits may be designed for fun in the sun, but they require a little TLC to ensure they remain in top shape. By following these care tips, you can keep your favorite swimwear looking fabulous for many seasons to come. After all, with proper care, your swimsuits can look just as good as you do while wearing them!
