HOW TO MAKE YOUR SWIMSUIT AND DRESS LAST LONGER
SWIMSUIT CARE
- Avoid Pools & Spas: Over-chlorinated, overheated pools, and spa baths can cause fading.
- Lotions & Oils: Sunscreen, tanning oils, and fake tan can stain swimsuits. Ensure they’re fully dry before wearing.
How to Wash
- Rinse Immediately: Use cold water after swimming to prevent fading and odors.
- Hand Wash Only: Use mild soap; avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and soaking.
- Lay Flat to Dry: Avoid dryers and direct sunlight to preserve shape and color.
Stains & Storage
- Remove Stains: Sprinkle baking soda on stains, let sit, then hand wash.
- Store Properly: Keep in a dry, ventilated area—never in sealed plastic bags.
DRESS CARE
- Washing: Follow care labels. Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in a laundry bag.
- Drying: Lay flat or hang on padded hangers. Avoid tumble drying and direct sunlight.
- Storage: Hang in a ventilated space; store delicate items flat to avoid stretching.
KNITWEAR CARE
- Dry Clean Only: Use professional cleaning.
- Avoid Ironing: Do not iron or steam to protect fibers.
Wool Pilling Q&A
Why do sweaters pill?
Friction pulls out fibers, causing them to tangle and form pills. Fine, fluffy wool fibers are more prone to this.
Why does high-quality wool pill more?
Finer, softer wool has denser curls, offering warmth and comfort but making it more susceptible to pilling from friction.
How to Remove Pills
- Fabric Shaver: Gently glide a shaver over pills to remove them safely.
- Small Scissors: Carefully snip off larger pills.
- Don’t Pull by Hand: Pulling can damage the fibers and loosen threads.
- Regular Care: Shave lightly after each wear to keep the fabric smooth.
