1. Rinse After Each Use
The sooner you rinse your swimsuit after wearing it, the better. Rinse off any saltwater, chlorine, or sand by gently handwashing it with cool water. This helps remove impurities that can degrade the fabric over time. Avoid using hot water or harsh detergents, as they can cause colors to fade and damage the fabric's elasticity. Once rinsed, gently squeeze out excess water—never wring or twist your swimsuit, as this can distort its shape.
2. Handwash with Mild Soap
When it's time to give your swimsuit a thorough cleaning, handwashing is the way to go. Use a gentle detergent or mild soap specifically formulated for delicates. Fill a sink or basin with cool water and a small amount of the detergent. Gently agitate the water to create suds. Place your swimsuit in the water and swish it around for a few minutes. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing to prevent damage. Then, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly with cool water.
3. Dry with Care
After washing, it's essential to dry your swimsuit properly. Avoid wringing your swimsuit or using a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can damage the fabric's elasticity. Instead, lay your swimsuit flat on a clean, dry towel and roll it up gently, pressing to absorb excess water. Once most of the moisture is absorbed, lay your swimsuit flat on a drying rack or a towel in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can fade the colors and weaken the fabric. Allow your swimsuit to air dry fully before storing or wearing it again.
4. Protect from the Sun
Sunscreen is crucial not only for your skin, but also for the longevity of your swimsuit. Apply sunscreen to your body before putting on your swimsuit to minimize direct contact between the sunscreen and the fabric. Some sunscreens contain ingredients that can cause discoloration or damage to the fabric, especially when mixed with chlorine or saltwater. Providing this extra layer of protection helps maintain the vibrancy and integrity of your swimsuit.
5. Rotate and Rest
Just like any other piece of clothing, swimsuits need time to rest and recover between wearings. Rotate between different swimsuits if you have a collection, allowing each one to fully dry and retain its shape. Giving your swimsuits a break not only prolongs their lifespan but also ensures that you have a variety of styles to choose from during your beach escapades.
