Summer is slowly coming to an end, but the memories of the sea and the sunny days remain. And while you put away your summer clothes, your swimsuits deserve special attention. If you want your favorite model to look as good as new next summer, proper care is the key. In this article, we’ll share practical tips for storing and maintaining your swimsuits – because luxury is in the details.
Why is proper swimsuit care important?
The fabrics used for swimsuits are delicate – often including elastane, microfiber, lurex, or lace. Sunlight, saltwater, and chlorine from the pool can quickly damage them if you don’t take proper care. With the right care, however:
• Colors stay vibrant and rich.
• The material doesn’t loosen or lose its shape.
• Your luxury swimsuit will be ready for the next season.
How to wash swimsuits properly?
One of the most common mistakes is putting swimsuits in the washing machine. To preserve their shape and elasticity, follow these steps:
• Rinse immediately after wearing – even with just cold fresh water, to remove salt or chlorine.
• Hand wash only – use mild soap or a special detergent for delicate fabrics.
• Avoid harsh detergents – fabric softeners and bleach break down the fibers.
• Do not scrub too hard – it can damage the fabric and delicate details like sequins or lace.
How to dry swimsuits?
• Never leave your swimsuit under direct sunlight – UV rays fade the colors.
• Do not tumble dry.
• The best way is to lay it flat on a towel in the shade and let it dry naturally.
Storing swimsuits after the season
When summer is over, it’s time to put your swimsuits away for the next year:
• Make sure they are completely dry.
• Store them folded in a cotton pouch or box.
• Avoid plastic bags – they trap moisture and can damage the fabric.
