How to care for your swimwear the right way!

A great swimsuit can make all the difference when it comes to feeling confident and looking great when at the beach or by the pool. Good swimwear are made from quality fabric, have excellent cuts and can last for many years if looked after correctly.

Great swimsuits are an investment piece and should be treated with respect. In return they will provide you with years of swimming fun and the care instructions are included on the tag. Unfortunately most people will not even glance at it and throw the tag straight in the bin.

Follow these simple guidelines and you will extend the life of your gorgeous swimsuit tremendously.

1. When applying sunscreen try and avoid applying it directly on to the swimsuit.
2. Immediately after swimming rinse the swimsuit in clean water.
3. As soon as possible, make sure your swimsuit is hand washed in warm water at approximately 30C using a mild washing liquid. If you do use powder washing detergent, ensure that all the product is completely dissolved before submerging the swimsuit in to it.
4. Make sure you rinse well in clean water to remove any traces of detergent.
5. Do not wring out the swimsuit to help it dry faster, you can press it gently in between a folded towel to remove excess water and then simply hang up and let it drip dry.
6. Do not dry in the sun to speed up the drying process.

Consistently following the above guidelines will make a huge difference in extending the lifespan of your stunning swimsuit.
