How to Use

For revitalized swimwear:

Step 1. Fill a sink or plastic tub with cool water. Add one good squirt or 1 TBSP of swimsuit cleaner per bathing suit you’ll be washing. 

Step 2. Add your swimwear and swish them in the water. This will encourage the cleaner to reach deep into the fibers to pull out chlorine, oils, and grit. 

Step 3. Allow it to soak for 30 minutes. 

Step 4. Rinse in cool water until the water runs clear. 

Step 5. Air dry on a clean, flat surface until completely dry. Aside from that smile and the tan lines, it’ll be like beach day never happened.

PRO TIP: Never wring out a swimsuit. This warps the padding and damages the elasticity. Instead, lay the suit flat on a thick towel, roll it up like a sausage and squeeze out the excess water.

Learn More About Our Swimsuit Cleaner

Whether we’re basking on the beach, or training for a triathlon at a local pool, between the swimming, sunscreen, and sweat, our swimwear really takes a beating. After all the time and energy you’ve spent finding your perfect swimsuit, you should know how to follow the right laundering rules that will keep it looking great season to season. 

Here are our guidelines for the best swimwear care!

  1. As soon as you can, rinse your swimming suit in cool water. This will remove the bulk of the damaging particles until you’ve got the time to wash it properly. Chlorine, salt, sand, dirt, suntan lotion, and sunscreen are all very hard on your swimsuit and the longer they are allowed to stay in the fabric, the more damage they’ll do. 
  2. Never put a dirty suit in a plastic bag. This is a breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria and will make your swimsuit break down more quickly. 
  3. Wash your swimming suit every time you wear it. 
  4. Always use a gentle swimsuit cleaner. Regular detergents are often too harsh for delicate fabrics. 
  5. Never put a swimming suit in the washing machine or dryer. Always hand wash and air dry your swimming suits. 
  6. Treat stains as quickly as possible with Stain Remover Spray
  7. Avoid wearing the same swimming suit more than once in 24 hours. This gives the fabric time to return to its normal shape and reduces the chances of warping and stretching. 
  8. Avoid sitting on concrete or pavement. The rough surface will snag your suit.

I was worried my suit would fade after a summer of sunscreen and chlorine, but this stuff lifted the oil right out in a single cold soak. The fibers feel soft again and not a bit stretched out.

The first time I used this in the sink, I was shocked at how much sunscreen residue came out of what I thought was a clean suit. The formula seems to go deep into the fibers without any harsh rubbing. My swimsuit feels noticeably softer and smells fresh, not like chlorine.
