We want your Essential Swimwear to look fabulous and last as long as possible! Follow these simple care tips to keep your swimwear in perfect condition.

Rinse After Each Use

After a day at the beach or pool, make sure to rinse your swimwear thoroughly with fresh water. This helps remove salt, chlorine, sunscreen, and other residues that can damage the fabric.

Hand Wash Only

Gently hand wash your swimwear in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can weaken the fabric and fade the colors.

Avoid the Washing Machine

As tempting as it may be, please keep your swimwear out of the washing machine and dryer. The agitation and heat can be too harsh and may cause your swimwear to lose its shape and elasticity.

Dry Flat in the Shade

Lay your swimwear flat to dry in a shaded area. Avoid wringing out the fabric, as this can stretch it out. Also, keep it out of direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade.

Store Properly

When not in use, store your swimwear flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the fabric. Make sure it’s completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odor.

Avoid Rough Surfaces

Be cautious of sitting or leaning against rough surfaces while wearing your swimwear. Pool edges, wooden benches, and rocky areas can snag and damage the fabric.

Rotate Your Swimsuits

If you’re a frequent swimmer, consider rotating between a few favorite swimsuits. This gives each piece time to recover its shape and extends the lifespan of your swimwear collection.

Sunscreen and Lotions

While sunscreen is essential for your skin, it can be tough on swimwear. Apply lotions and sunscreens before putting on your swimsuit to minimize contact with the fabric. Allow them to dry completely to prevent staining and degradation.

Watch for Chlorine

Chlorine can be particularly harsh on swimwear. If you swim frequently in chlorinated pools, consider investing in swimwear specifically designed to resist chlorine. Always rinse your swimwear thoroughly after exposure to chlorine.

Be Gentle with Accessories

Remove jewelry and avoid sharp objects that might snag or tear your swimwear. Handle zippers and clasps with care to prevent any accidental damage.

By following these care instructions, you’ll keep your Essential Swimwear looking stunning and vibrant for many seasons to come. Thank you for choosing Essential Swimwear. Enjoy the sun, sand, and waves with confidence!
