Top Swimwear Care Tips from Lu-May Exclusive Wear
At Lu-May Exclusive Wear, we know a thing or two about keeping garments looking fresh and fabulous.
These expert tips are a must when it comes to looking after your swimsuit.
- Rinse your swimwear after each use: One of the golden rules of swimwear maintenance is to rinse your costume after every use. Sea salt, chlorine, suntan lotion, and other chemicals can diminish the fibres in your swimsuit, resulting in fading colours and stains. To ensure your costume looks as good as new for as long as possible, give it a rinse after every swim. For added convenience, rinse it under the shower. Just remember to opt for cooler temperatures as hot water can also erode the fabric.
- Handwash swimwear: One of the best ways to preserve the lifespan of your swimsuit is to handwash it with a mild detergent.By handwashing your garment with lukewarm water and using gentle rubbing motions, you’ll ensure that delicate fabrics are protected. Washing machines can stretch the fabric and cause damage, so handwashing is always your best bet.
- Air dry your costume: It might seem tempting to pop your swimsuit in the dryer, but this can destroy the elastic and damage the fabric in the long run. For optimal drying results, let your costume dry in the shade. Unfortunately, drying it in the blazing sun can cause colours to fade. Lay it out on a drying rack or towel, and let the breeze take care of the rest.
- Be mindful of surfaces: Rough surfaces like rocks, stones, or swimming pool decks can damage your swimwear and cause snags. Where possible, sit on a towel or soft surface to keep your swimsuit protected at all times.
- Choose quality brands: One of the best ways to get the most out of your swimming costumes is to invest in a high-quality brand that prioritisespremium material and expert design. All our swimwear items are created with longevity in mind. Using the best fabrics and designs, our bikinis and costumes hold their shape and are made with thicker, more robust materials built to last.
