What's the best way to wash a bathing suit after swimming?

Question

After i go swimming i don't really know how to care for my suit. It fades after i throw it into the wash, so does anyone have any good suggestions that can help? Thanks

Answer 1

Bathing suits fade when they are used in chlorine and washed a lot. Sounds like your problem! (and a good one to have!) If you are swimming a lot, rinse your bathing suit out well after use and hang dry outside or better in the bathroom (no sun) - washing less often. Also, when you wash in the washing machine, wash cold on a short cycle and don't put it in the dryer. Hang it up to dry.

hope that helps!

Answer 2

You need to rinse the chlorine water out of you bathing suit immediately after getting out of the pool. Then launder as needed in cold water on the delicate or hand wash cycles, and hang to dry. It's probably fading from the chlorine water sitting in it, rather than from washing it.

Answer 3

Yes. Simply rinse it good with plain water and hang it up in your bathroom to dry. I only use soap on mine every so often. It stays nicer for longer. Baking soda won't fade it as bad as laundry detergent when you wash it either.

Answer 4

Wash it with cold water in the sink using Woolite. Line dry.

Answer 5

Normally I rinse with cold water, & use a very mild soap ,again using cold water. wash always by hand and allow to drip dry
