Three Common Mistakes in Swimsuit Cleaning

Three Common Mistakes in Swimsuit Cleaning

1. Throw the swimsuit into the washing machine for dehydration.

In order to save trouble, many people throw swimsuits into the washing machine for cleaning. Actually, this way is wrong. The force of the washing machine is too strong, which is easy to make poor elasticity of the swimsuit, resulting in its deformation. The easiest way to clean the swimsuit is to add a small amount of Woolite fabric wash into the basin; soak the swimsuit in it; then press the swimsuit to clean it slightly and rinse it in clear water.

After washing, it is not recommended to put swimwear into the washing machine for dehydration, which will cause the damage of the fiber. If dehydration is really needed, a three-dimensional laundry bag can be used for the swimsuit. The laundry bag can avoid the swimsuit being pulled. In addition, it is safer to wrap the swimsuit with a dry towel and put it in a laundry bag for dehydration.

2. Wash your swimsuit after going home.

Chlorine and other chemical composition in the swimming pool are easy to damage the clothing, so wash the swimsuit with clear water immediately after swimming. In addition, washed swimsuits should also be avoided in high temperature places such as the trunk of a car, because high temperature will also cause harm to swimsuits.

In fact, you'd better wet your swimsuits with clear water before swimming, so as to reduce the harm of chlorine to clothing.

3. Hang swimwear to dry.

The common method of drying swimwear is to hang it to dry. However, the newly washed swimsuit contains water, and if it is hung directly, it will be loose due to its dead weight.

In addition, detergent that are too alkaline should be avoided. Laundry detergent is also not suitable for washing swimwear, because the particles of laundry detergent are easy to remain in the fibers. Woolite fabric wash or neutral detergent will be the better choice.
