After swimming in the ocean
or the pool, always rinse your swimsuit with
regular tap water. In doing so, you will
eliminate most of the salt and chlorine which
are the principle chemicals that affect the
Nylon and spandex fibers. From time to time, you
should also HAND WASH (never in a washing
machine even at gentle cycle) your suit with a
cool water liquid detergent (like Zero or
Woolite). Never use bleach!
It is highly recommended
that you HANG DRY your swimsuit. Make sure that
it is dried in an artificially lit environment
(regular home lighting will do fine) and not
outside or the clothesline. The sun naturally
causes colored fabrics to fade.
Avoid putting
your swimsuit away until it is completely dry.
If it is stored while still wet or humid, it
could become discolored. For the same reason
avoid leaving it in a bag or a damp towel.
When applying
oil based sun tan lotions, minimize direct
contact with your swimsuit as the oils naturally
cause the swimsuit elastics to breakdown.
