Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Washing detergent
• Washing machine
• Plastic clothespins

1. Rinse out the swimsuit with cold water after taking it off. Even if you aren't going to wash it right away, this will help get out the chlorine, which can cause damage to the fabric and color if you have exposed the suit to a pool setting.

2. Let the suit air dry to reduce the risk of mildew. Nobody wants fungus in their swimming attire!

3. Place the swimsuit inside of your washer when you are ready to start the cleaning process and turn the temperature setting to cold, then add a gentle detergent soap.

4. Wash the swimsuit by itself or only with other swimming apparel. Other types of clothing can cause damage to the swimsuit fabric, resulting in tears and snags.

5. Squeeze out as much excess water as you can after the washer is done and lay the suit flat, or hang it up to dry.

Tips & Warnings

• You can hang the swimsuit outside to dry but just be sure not to set it in direct sunlight for too long or it may fade. When hanging the suit, use plastic clothespins to help reduce snagging.
• Do not dry your suit in the dryer because it can cause fading and shrinkage.
