It's important to get the swimsuit dry quickly because no one wants to wear it on a damp day.If you put it in the dryer it will cause a lot of damage and ruin your suit over time.It is possible to help your suit dry faster without damaging its elasticity or fading its color.Plan on spending an extra 5 minutes rinsing, rolling, and laying out your suit after each swim session to keep it in top shape.
Step 1: Remove chlorine or saltwater from your suit by rinsing it in cool water.
Take your suit off in the sink and let the cool water run over it for a few minutes.The process removes chlorine, saltwater, sunscreen, and other oils that could damage the elasticity or color of your suit over time.De-chlorinating drops can be used if you spend a lot of time in the water.You can add 1-2 drops to a sink filled with cold water.It is not necessary to rinse the suit with fresh water.
Step 2: To get rid of excess water, roll your suit in a dry towel.
It is tempting to grab and twist your suit to get rid of the extra water, but doing so can damage it.Lay down a clean towel.Put your swimsuit on the towel.The towel will absorb a lot of the water left in your suit if you roll it up.If you want your swimsuit to dry faster, don't wring it out.In drying time, you won't gain much.You can squeeze the towel to absorb more water, but not twist it.
Step 3: Put your suit on top of the dry towel.
Set a clean, dry towel on a flat surface.It is important to choose a space that will not be damaged by the towel.Wrap your suit around the towel and put it on the new towel.If you do a lot of laundry, you might want to invest in a flat drying rack.It is good for swimsuits, sweaters, and other items you don't want to hang dry.
Step 4: Help it dry faster by turning on a fan near your suit.
It is great if your suit is outdoors and there is a breeze.If you want to increase circulation in the room, turn on a ceiling fan or bring in a standing fan.Keep your suit out of the sun.The sun's rays can fade and damage your suit.
Step 5: Don't leave your swimsuit in the drying machine.
The heat can cause your suit to wear out quickly.If you have no other choice and have to dry your suit right now, tumble dry on a no-heat setting for the least amount of damage.If you take a few extra minutes at the end of the day, you can lay out your suit on a dry towel and let it air dry.
Step 6: Keep your suit out of the sun.
Sun exposure is fine when you wear your suit outdoors.Don't put it on a beach chair or outdoor railing when it's time to dry it out.The sun's rays will make your suit look worn out.If you decide to dry your suit outside, make sure it is shaded.
Step 7: Hang it to dry to protect its shape and elasticity.
A lot of people want to toss a wet suit over a railing, a curtain rod, or a hook.The weight of the water pulling on your suit will cause it to stretch out and mess up the straps or body.Do not hang your suit from a metal rod or hook.The metal and water reaction could cause your suit to rust.
Step 8: If you can, wash your suit by hand.
A swimsuit can be rough on a washing machine.Add a capful of detergent to the sink.After soaking the suit for 30 minutes, rinse it out with cold water.Before you wash your suit, make sure the sink is clean.You don't want leftover food or grease mixing with the water and getting onto your suit.
