4 Tips to Help You Care for Your Swimsuit

Now that you have found the perfect bikini to take on your next beach trip, your next step should be learning how to care for it. Keeping an eye on fabric care for your California swimsuits will keep them durable and maintain their flattering fit on you. Mentioned below are some helpful hints:
  
Rinse Immediately

After you swim, whether it is in salt water, fresh water, or pool water, rinse your swimsuit immediately. When you have changed out of it, give it another pass on tap water before packing it away. This prevents and dirt, lotion, or chlorine from seeping into the fabric.

Hand Washing Is Best

Once you get home, fight the urge of popping all your beachwear into the washing machine. Materials like nylon, Spandex, or Lycra may lose their shape with the agitating action of the washer. It’s better to handwash your bikinis with mild soap and cool water. Avoid hot water as it can fade the colors and over-stretch the synthetic fabrics.

Dry It Properly

After you hand wash your bikini tops and bottoms, do not wring them to dry. It is recommended that you roll them up in a dry towel and gently pat out the excess water. Avoid hanging your swimsuit on a clothesline as this can stretch out the ties or laces. You can air dry them on a table or a chair, and not under direct sunlight.

Bring a Spare

Going away for more than a day? It is also smart to bring with you more than one bikini during your trip. After you have used your first pair on day one, wash and allow the fabric to dry completely so the bikini retains its normal form and shape. On day two, you can use your second bikini instead.

With proper care and maintenance, you can expect your California swimsuits to last you for many fun beach trips to come.
