Quelle est la meilleure façon de laver votre maillot de bain?

During the hottest months of summer, the best way to cool off is to go swimming. Choosing a flattering and comfortable maillot de bain is often a challenge. Swimsuits are also often expensive, so once we buy a maillot de bain, it follows that we would want to keep it in good condition. Chlorine, crème solaire, sand, and high temperatures can wear down the fabric of even the nicest maillot de bain. It’s therefore important to know the best ways to keep our maillot de bains clean and in excellent shape.

One of the fabrics in most maillot de bains is spandex. Spandex can be damaged when it is in contact with sweat and other substances found in our skin. Those substances can change the ability of the maillot de bain to expand. Another problem that can affect maillot de bains is that chlorine can change the color of the cloth. If the maillot de bain is washed soon enough, this can be prevented.

Some people opt for washing their bathing maillot de bains in a washing machine. This is less than ideal but can be safely done by placing it in a mesh bag, using a very mild detergent, and using the delicates cycle. A International maillot de bain manufacturer ProSwimwear advises that a typical wash cycle can damage the fabric of most maillot de bain. However, modern maillot de bain designers are now devising certain versions of a bathing maillot de bain specifically designed to be washed by machine.

Lavage des mains

For the most part, the best way to wash a maillot de bain is still to wash it by hand. The first step is to rinse the maillot de bain. Although you can rinse it quickly and still clean it effectively, if possible you should let the maillot de bain rest in the water for half an hour. This is the best way to remove the chemicals, salt, and sand from the maillot de bain.

There are different opinions as to which temperature should be used for rinsing and washing. Checking the label of the maillot de bain should tell you which temperature would be best for your maillot de bain.

Although rinsing can eliminate many of the chemicals which could damage your maillot de bain, it isn’t able to get rid of all the chlorine and/or salt. Once the original water has drained, you can fill the sink again. You will next need a mild detergent, and a little plain shampoo is a good substitute. Another choice would be to use half a cup of baking soda. This is said to preserve the brightness of the fabric color. Put the detergent or baking soda in the water. Then, turn your maillot de bain inside out. After you’ve done this you can gently place the entire maillot de bain into the detergent-infused water. Swish the maillot de bain in the water for a few minutes; then, drain the water. Once the water has drained you can run cold water over the maillot de bain to rinse it clean. Squeeze the maillot de bain to help express the soap and water from the bathing suit.

Getting rid of taches

If your maillot de bain has a stain, this would be another reason to use baking soda to wash it. Creating a paste out of baking soda and water, and applying this to the stain has been said to easily and safely remove taches.

When there is no more soap in the maillot de bain, continue to squeeze the maillot de bain to remove as much water as possible. This will help the maillot de bain dry more quickly. Don’t wring the maillot de bain; just squeeze it gently. Wringing the maillot de bain can cause the fabric to break down.

Drying the maillot de bain

The best way to dry the maillot de bain is to use air drying. Use a drying rack, and spread the maillot de bain out over the rack. Make sure the rack is in a place where it won’t be subjected to sunlight. This is because UV rays from the sun can also cause damage to the fabric of the maillot de bain.

Storing maillot de bains

Once the maillot de bain is dry, you need to find the best and safest place to store it. You can’t hang it up; that might stretch it out. This is another time to lay the maillot de bain flat and to keep it in a clean, dry place. At the end of the swimming season, you will want to place your bathing maillot de bain in a fabric garment bag. Using a plastic garment bag is not a good choice; plastic might cause moisture to build up in the maillot de bain. Moisture could then cause mildew, and that would thwart your best efforts to keep your bathing maillot de bain in good condition
