Our Tips: How to Care for and Extend the Lifespan of Your Ui Swim Pieces
At Ui Swim, we believe that your swimwear should not only make you feel amazing and confident but also stand the test of time. We understand the investment you make in your swimwear, which is why we're here to share some expert tips on how to care for and maintain your favourite pieces so they can accompany you on many more adventures to come.
Let's reach our goal together and expand your swimwear's lifespan to the fullest!
TIP 1. Rinse Immediately: After every wear, rinse your swimwear in cold water to remove salt, chlorine, and other chemicals that can damage the fabric over time. This simple step helps prevent discoloration and deterioration.
TIP 2. Hand Wash Gently: When it's time to clean your swimwear, hand wash it with a mild detergent in cold water gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and fabric softeners as they can break down the fibers and elasticity of your swimsuit.
TIP 3. Dry Flat: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water and avoid wringing or twisting your swimwear, as this can distort its shape. Instead, lay it flat on a towel to air dry away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
TIP 4. Avoid Machine Washing and Drying: Machine washing and drying is too harsh on delicate swimwear fabrics, leading to stretching, fading, and premature wear. Stick to hand washing for the best results.
TIP 5. Be Mindful of Surfaces: Avoid sitting on rough surfaces or lounging on pool edges while wearing your swimwear, as abrasive surfaces can snag or tear the fabric.
TIP 6. Handle with Care: When putting on or taking off your swimwear, handle it gently to avoid stretching or pulling at the seams. Stepping into swimsuits rather than pulling them over your head can also help preserve their shape.
TIP 7. Store Properly: Store your swimwear in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and deterioration. Avoid folding or creasing your swimsuits to maintain their shape.
TIP 8. Rotate Your Swimwear: Avoid wearing the same swimsuit consecutively to give each piece time to rest and recover its shape. Rotating your swimwear collection also helps distribute the wear and tear evenly.
