Caring for your swimwear
5 tips for looking after your swimwear
To keep your swimwear's colour, shape and elasticity for as long as possible, it is important to look after it. Luckily, that does not take much.
Rinse it after use
Salt water, chlorine and sun cream can affect the fibres of your swimwear. Rinse it in cold, clean water after use.
Let it dry in the shade
Avoid wringing your swimwear hard, and let it dry in the shade. Direct sun and high heat can wear on the elastic and the colours.
Look after straps and ties
Do not pull unnecessarily on straps and ties when putting your swimwear on and taking it off. Loosen knots and clasps so the fabric is not strained more than necessary.
Watch out for rough surfaces
Coarse pool edges, rocks and other rough surfaces can wear on the fibres of your swimwear. Put a towel underneath you when you sit on them, so the fabric keeps looking good for longer.
Store it with care
Make sure the swimwear is completely dry. Fold it loosely, and avoid leaving it hanging by the straps for long periods. If there is removable padding, avoid squashing or folding it.
We recommend hand washing at a maximum of 30 °C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach, and never use a tumble dryer or iron.
With a little care, you can enjoy your Avera swimwear for a long time.
