How many of you have ruined a bathing suit somehow but you don’t know why it got ruined so fast? Yep, me too. It wasn’t until I started working in a pool that I finally figured out how to take care and wash my swim suits. Bathing suits can be really expensive and you want them to last as long as they can.
I’ve done some research and from my own knowledge I’m going to tell you how to take care of all types of swim suits. Here are the steps,
- Do not use a washing machine!
- Rinse the bathing suit in cold water immediately after using it. You do this because salt water, chlorine, body oils, sunscreen, dirt and sand can damage the elasticity of the suit causing “saggy bum” or “droopy drawers.”
- “Washing” really means to soak the bathing suit in cold water with a light soap for 15 minutes.
- Gently massage with your hands, rinse out the soap until the water runs clear.
- You never want to wring or twist the bathing suit, rather you want to lay it flat between two towels, roll them up and gently press so the towels absorb the water.
- After lay is flat to dry, hanging it up to dry will make it lose its elasticity or stretch out the fabric.
- Lastly having more than one bathing suit will help them all last longer.
I hope this helps everyone save their swim suits for the summer time! Remember always use sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun!
