How to care
Care Instructions
Avoid:
- Contact with sunscreen, oils, and harsh chemicals like chlorine. Public pools often use high chlorine levels, so limit exposure and rinse your suit after use.
- Hot tubs, as hot water can damage delicate fibres.
Washing:
- Hand wash or rinse with cold water immediately after use, even if you didn’t go in the water. This helps remove sunscreens, sweat, and natural oils, preventing fading and yellowing.
- For ECONYL® clothing, use a cold washing machine setting (30°C). To reduce environmental impact, use a wash bag or filter to catch microplastics, or hand wash for the best care.
- Avoid strong detergents and ensure the washing speed does not exceed 600 RPM.
Drying:
- Do not store while wet.
- Avoid wringing or stretching the suit. Gently press water out by wrapping the suit in a towel.
- Lay flat to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.
- Do not tumble dry.
Ironing: Ironing is unnecessary for Econyl® clothing. The material is naturally flexible and often blended with elastane or spandex for added elasticity.
