Summer is comming and it is the time for outdoor activities and for going to the beach.
Choosing a right swimsuit is not easy but keeping the swimsuit last long is just the matter of loving care
Have you ever wondered why your favourite swimsuit which was discoloured or was snagged after a short time? Here are some explanations together with some good tips for keeping your bathing suit in good conditions:
1- Before wearing a new swimsuit, soak it in a mixture of eight table spoons of white vinegar and one litre of water. Leave it for one hour, then rinse well and let the swimwear drip dry in shade.
2- After swimming in pools, where chemicals (chlorine or other pool cleaning liquids) are used, can bleach or damage the suit fabric, rinse the swimsuit in clear water and store it in a plastic bag if you don't want to wash it straight away.
3- Avoid wearing your new swimsuit in spa or in sauna as the intense heat will cause the elastic to start melting and the fabric to deteriorate quickly. An old swimsuit is recommended for wearing at those places.
4-Hand-wash the swimwear in mild hand wash liquids and NEVER twist or wring it; let it drip dry in shade or lay it flat on a flat on a clean and smooth surface. Do not iron your bathers.
5- Do not bleach
6- At the beach, be careful when you put on sunscreen, suntan, body lotion or oils as they can also discolour or damage the fabric. Excessive amounts of sun tan lotions and oils rubbed into skin, which contacts with the swimwear, can cause the elastic and elastomeric yarn to deteriorate, making it rot and melt.
7- Avoid sitting on rough surfaces such as on rocks or rough concrete because they can snag
swimwear fabric.
