מה הדרך הטובה ביותר לשטוף את בגד הים שלך?

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

One of the fabrics in most בגד יםs 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 בגד ים to expand. Another problem that can affect בגד יםs is that chlorine can change the color of the cloth. If the בגד ים is washed soon enough, this can be prevented.

Some people opt for washing their bathing בגד יםs 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 בגד ים manufacturer ProSwimwear advises that a typical wash cycle can damage the fabric of most בגד ים. However, modern בגד ים designers are now devising certain versions of a bathing בגד ים specifically designed to be washed by machine.

שטיפת ידיים

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

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

Although rinsing can eliminate many of the chemicals which could damage your בגד ים, 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 בגד ים inside out. After you’ve done this you can gently place the entire בגד ים into the detergent-infused water. Swish the בגד ים in the water for a few minutes; then, drain the water. Once the water has drained you can run cold water over the בגד ים to rinse it clean. Squeeze the בגד ים to help express the soap and water from the bathing suit.

Getting rid of כתמים

If your בגד ים 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 כתמים.

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

Drying the בגד ים

The best way to dry the בגד ים is to use air drying. Use a drying rack, and spread the בגד ים 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 בגד ים.

Storing בגד יםs

Once the בגד ים 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 בגד ים flat and to keep it in a clean, dry place. At the end of the swimming season, you will want to place your bathing בגד ים in a fabric garment bag. Using a plastic garment bag is not a good choice; plastic might cause moisture to build up in the בגד ים. Moisture could then cause mildew, and that would thwart your best efforts to keep your bathing בגד ים in good condition
