Aký je najlepší spôsob, ako si umyť plavky?

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

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

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

Ručné umývanie

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

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

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

Getting rid of škvrny

If your plavky 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 škvrny.

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

Drying the plavky

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

Storing plavkys

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