how to keep your swimsuit beautiful

Clean and protect it like a pro

1. Swimwear may release excess dye at first washing; take care to watch each new piece separately.

2. After each wear, hand-wash immediately in cold water using a gentle cleaner to remove saltwater, chlorine, sunscreen and oils.

3. Rinse well.

4. Roll in a towel, pressing gently to remove water. Never wring.

5. Lay flat to dry, avoiding direct sunlight.

For perfect results, follow these tips

1. Hand-washing is key to preserving the life of your suit - never put your swimsuit in the washer or dryer.

2. Take care to sit on a towel to avoid pilling on rough surfaces

3. Avoid extended exposure to hot tubs which can degrade lycra.
