Swimsuit Care Guide

Chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, sand, and sweat can take a toll on your swimsuit. A little TLC will make it last longer.

1. After each wearing, turn the suit inside out and hand wash it with a mild detergent in cold water.

2. Rinse the suit well and gently squeeze out excess water.

3. Lay it flat to dry, away from direct sunlight.
