swimwear care instructions
rinse with cold water and wash at 30°C
chemicals like chlorine can damage the fabric and colour of your swimsuit. be sure to rinse your swimwear with cold water after use and wash at 30°C with similar colours. this will prevent long term chlorine absorption.
avoid extreme heat
avoid wearing your swimsuit in jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms, and hot springs, as the extreme temperatures can damage the material, colour, and quality.
drying
do not tumble-dry your swimsuit or lay it on a heated surface. air drying is best. dry it flat and out of direct sunlight.
creams
we advise applying your suncream first, and making sure it is dry before putting on your swimwear.
