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.
