Tips on how to take care of your bathing suits, learn more
You probably want to make the most of your summer, but wearing your worn-out bathing suits just doesn't work. So, here are some tips to keep them going for many summers.
1-Wash your swimwear whenever you use it.
be sure to wash your bathing suits after each use, even if you have not entered the water. Due to the sunscreen, it contains ingredients that can stain the fabric. Additionally, oil can cause yellowing or staining over time if swimsuits are not washed properly.
What's more, if you're taking a dip in the pool, chlorine is more aggressive on bikini fabrics than fresh and salt water and can make bright colors especially susceptible to fading.
2 – How to wash your bathing suits
Above all, don't throw your swimsuit/bikini in the washing machine, as well as don't use any soap.
However, for best results, hand wash your swimsuit and use a detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics or with a high Lycra content.
However, you can also rely on white vinegar for its deodorizing and antibacterial properties in place of detergent. However, if you are away from home and do not have detergent or vinegar available, wash only with clean water.
3 – Essential tips to keep your swimwear perfect for a long time
- Do not let your garments dry in direct sunlight. This can cause fading.
- Do not put a swimsuit, bikini in the dryer. Heat weakens the elasticity of elastane
- Do not hang a swimsuit on a metal rod to dry. This changes the shape of the garment, while the metal rod can leave a rust mark that is impossible to remove.
- Do not sit on rough surfaces while wearing a swimsuit. The concrete beside the pool or the wood on the lounge chairs can trap the tile material. Always place a towel before sitting down.
