Sun, salt water, chlorine and sunscreen can be stressful for your swimwear and cause colour to fade, but with the right kind of care your swimwear should take you through seasons of fun! Read our tips below to keep your UPF50+ swimwear looking good and functional. Take a pre-shower You’re practicing good hygiene by having a shower before hitting the pool, but there’s another advantage to a pre-shower. Pool water contains chlorine and other chemicals, which are harmful to swimwear fabric. If you have a shower before going in the pool, the fabric of your UPF50+ swimwear absorbs ‘regular’ water and then there’s less room for those nasty substances in the pool water to get in. Rinse well Rinse you swimwear in cold water after each use. If it is necessary to wash your UPF50+ swimwear, always do this by hand. Fill your sink with cold water and add some mild soap. Wash gently and rinse well with cold water. Do not soak your swimwear as this is bad for the fibers and causes them to loose their elasticity. Don’t wring your swimwear. This causes the elastic to weaken and that will directly effect the fit of your swimwear.
