Always wash swimwear by hand and not in a washing machine

For optimal effect, hand wash the swimsuit in cold water. Before washing, we soak them for about 15 minutes, and among the washing powders, we choose the one intended for sensitive materials. Do not wring or rub the swimsuit during and after washing, as the reactions to rough handling will be extremely inelastic and stretched.

If you wash in a washing machine, follow the following advice

If washing in the washing machine cannot be avoided, the bathing suit should be placed in a special bag for washing delicate laundry before washing. Such a bag protects the swimsuit from unnecessary wear. Among the washing programs, choose the one intended for washing sensitive materials.

Dry outdoors, but carefully

During drying, the swimsuit is always placed on a flat surface in a large airy space. Do not expose the swimsuit to direct sunlight, as it will fade much faster.

Storage of wet and dry swimwear

Always put wet bathing suits in a plastic bag and wash them quickly at home. Dry ones are stored in a special drawer or box. We make sure that they do not wrinkle and that we do not bend them unnecessarily.
