General Care: What You Need To Know The absolute best thing you can do for the health of your bathing suit is to always—always, always, always! If you choose to launder in the machine, follow these rules and your suit will live a long and happy life: Put the suit into one of those protective mesh bags, which will help to keep it from getting tangled up with bulkier items of clothing and getting stretched out.
Use a gentle detergent designed for use on delicates. Choose the gentlest cycle available on your machine and opt for cold water. Never use bleach on a bathing suit. Either air or tumble dry no heat your bathing suits. If you air dry the suit, lay it flat either on a towel or across a few rungs of a drying rack to keep it from stretching out. And never wring the suit to extrude water from it, which will twist and stretch the fibers; instead, press down on the suit to push excess water out.
Keeping dark suits from fading Unfortunately, darker bathing suits are going to suffer from fading over time—sunshine will do its thing and, if you're a pool gal, the chlorine will take a toll as well.
Keeping light suits from yellowing On the flip side of things, you may notice that, over time, your white or lighter colored suits begin to suffer from yellowing. Always rinse your swimwear as soon as you are out of the water.
We know we say this a lot in our articles, but it is important. If you have just spilled something or accidentally gotten sunscreen on it, rinse it immediately if possible. The best stain removing techniques involve catching and treating ASAP. At Lime Ricki with our swimsuits, we always recommend washing our suits by hand.
Use a very mild, gentle detergent which will help your swimsuit keep its form and elasticity. We recommend our Lime Ricki suits be washed with gentle soaps instead of detergents. Never use bleach on your swimwear.
When you are finished rinsing and washing, never wring your swimsuit. Lay it down flat on a towel and press it flat to get excess water out. Always air dry and never hang. More Stubborn Stains What happens, however, if you didn't notice the stain and it is dried?
Your swimwear fabric is pretty hardy, but certain chemicals in detergents and cleaners can harm the fibers. For spot treatments, we recommend treating areas that get easily stained like the straps, ties, underarms, and along the edges of a bikini or tankini top with a vinegar-water solution.
Fill your sink with equal parts white vinegar and water, or a spray bottle. While we don't recommend you soak your swimsuit, in this case for stubborn stains let it soak in the vinegar-water solution for about 30 mins.
Use a dishwasher safe dinner plate to weigh it down if necessary so the suit is all way into the soaking solution. Get cleaning tips, product updates, promotional offers and more to your inbox. Bleach and other disinfectants are not suitable for consumption or injection under any circumstances. People should always read the label for proper usage instructions.
