A well-made swimsuit should feel good, look good, and last beyond one season. But here’s the truth no one tells you: most swimsuits get damaged not in the water, but after.
Chlorine, sunscreen stains, rough pool edges, and even the way you dry your suit can slowly break down the fabric, fade the colour, and loosen the stretch.
All Timala swimsuits are crafted to last. And with the right care, it stays looking brand-new for seasons, not just a few weekends.
Rinse After Every Swim
After swimming in the pool or ocean, rinse your swimsuit with fresh water. Salt, chlorine, and sunscreen can damage the fabric and fade colors. A gentle rinse keeps your Timala swimsuit soft and vibrant.
What to do:
Always use cool or lukewarm water — hot water can weaken the fabric. This prevents chemicals from settling into the fabric and keeps it soft and bright.
Hand Wash Gently
Hand washing is the best way to care for your swimsuit. Use mild detergent or baby shampoo, and gently rub the fabric. Avoid harsh detergents or washing machines, as they can stretch or damage delicate materials like Lycra or spandex.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Dry Naturally in Shade
Never twist or wring your swimsuit. Lay it flat on a clean towel and let it air dry in the shade. Direct sunlight or dryers can fade colors and damage elasticity.
This keeps your Timala swimwear in perfect shape, ready for your next beach day.
Avoid Rough Surfaces
Sitting on rough pool edges, rocks, or wooden benches can snag or wear out the fabric. Always place a towel or mat underneath your swimsuit to protect it.
Rotate Between Swimsuits
If you swim often, try rotating your swimsuits. This gives each piece time to dry completely and regain its shape.
Store Properly
Store your swimwear in a cool, dry place. Never fold wet swimsuits or leave them in plastic bags — this can cause odors and stretch the fabric. Lay flat or hang lightly for the best results.
Final Thoughts: Small Care, Big Impact
Caring for your swimwear is easy, but it makes a big difference. With gentle washing, proper drying, and smart storage, your favorite swimsuits will stay soft, bright, and perfectly shaped — ready for every beach or pool moment.
