6 Tips to Keep Your Swimwear Looking New All Summer Long

Summer is here, and it’s time to hit the beach! But before you do, let’s talk about cleaning and maintaining your favorite swimwear and beachwear. No one wants to wear faded or stretched out clothing pieces on the sand. So, we’ve rounded up some tips for you to keep your swimwear looking new all season long.

1. Rinse after use

After a dip in the ocean or pool, make sure to rinse your swimwear with cold water as soon as possible. This will help remove any saltwater or chlorine that can damage the fabric over time.

2. Hand wash

Avoid throwing your swimwear into the washing machine with other clothes because it can cause unnecessary stretching and snagging of delicate fabrics like lace or crochet. Instead, hand wash them in cold water using a gentle detergent.

3. Avoid hot water

Hot water can damage certain fibers such as Lycra or spandex which are commonly used in swimsuits today; these fibers tend to stretch when exposed to heat so avoid hot water at all costs!

4. Dry flat

Don’t throw your wet bathing suit into the dryer either! It’s best to hang dry or lay flat on a towel because tumbling can also cause stretching and misshaping of delicate fabrics.

5. Don’t wring out

It may be tempting to wring out excess water from your swimsuit but resist this urge! Wringing puts too much pressure on delicate fibers which leads to breakage and deformation of both shape and size.

6. Store safely

When not in use store separate from other clothing items preferably flatly folded away from direct sunlight exposure (which could lead fading) in cool dry place without squeezing them together tightly.

In conclusion, taking good care of our beloved swimsuits ensures they last us through summer after summer without losing their shape color durability nor style . By following these simple tips above we’re confident that you’ll be able to enjoy your swimsuits for a longer period of time. Happy summer!
