How to Care for Sun Safe swimwear

When it comes to protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun, wearing sun safe clothing is a great way to stay safe and stylish. But, just like any other type of clothing, Sun Safe garments require proper care to maintain their effectiveness and longevity. Here are some expert tips on how to care for your sun safe clothing:

Washing Instructions

To keep your Sun Safe clothing in top condition, it is important to wash it properly.

Always wash in cold water on a hand wash cycle, or simply hand wash them. Avoid putting them in the dryer, as the heat can damage the fabric and reduce their sun protection capabilities. Instead, lay your Sun Safe clothing flat to dry to preserve their quality and avoid stretching the material.

When drying, make sure to keep them away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the fabric to fade and lose its protective properties. Sun Safe clothing is great to wear while it's drying to keep you cool and it does dry very quickly!

After Swimming Care

If you've been swimming in salt water or chlorine while wearing Sun Safe clothing, make sure to rinse them with fresh water afterwards. This will help remove any salt or chlorine residue that can damage the fabric over time. Additionally, always wash your Sun Safe clothing separately from other garments that may catch on the material and cause damage.

By following these expert tips on how to care for your Sun Safe clothing, you can ensure that they remain effective in protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Proper care and maintenance will not only extend the life of your Sun Safe clothing but also help you stay safe and stylish for years to come.
