Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your swimsuit retains its elasticity and color, always rinse it in cold, fresh water immediately after leaving the pool to remove excess chlorine. Avoid wringing the material, as this can damage the fibers. Instead, lay it flat or hang it in a shaded, well-ventilated area to dry away from direct sunlight. Consult the internal care label for specific washing temperatures, and avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the technical properties of the polyester.
