Material Care for Sustainability: Technical Swimsuit

When washing a technical swimsuit, it’s important to use a detergent that is gentle and specifically formulated for delicate fabrics. Look for detergents that are labeled as suitable for swimwear or for use on delicate fabrics. Here are some options to consider:

Mild Liquid Detergent: Choose a mild liquid detergent that is free from harsh chemicals and additives. Look for detergents designed for delicate fabrics or for handwashing.

Detergent Specifically for Swimwear: Some brands offer detergents specifically formulated for swimwear. These detergents are designed to remove chlorine, salt, and other chemicals without damaging the fabric. Our recommended product is re:CLAIM Odor Control Wash, a liquid detergent specifically formulated for technical fabrics.

Avoid Harsh Detergents: Avoid using regular laundry detergents, bleach, fabric softeners, or stain removers, as these can be too harsh and may damage the delicate fabric of your swimsuit.

Read Labels: Always read the labels on detergents to ensure they are suitable for use on swimwear and delicate fabrics.

Avoid Soaking: Don’t soak the suit for too long, as this can damage the fabric and affect its elasticity.

Keep Away from Heat: Don’t expose the suit to direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the fabric to degrade.

Using the right detergent will help keep your technical swimsuit clean and in good condition, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining its performance in the water.
