The swimsuit manufacturer wants to tell you, elasticity may have different meanings, but when we say that the bathing suit has lost its elasticity, it means that the bathing suit is no longer the original shape.
It may be below points:
1. Time/Usage
2. Washing machine.
3. Dryer.
4. Ironing,
5. Chlorine water
6. Hanging
No matter how hard you try to keep the shape of swimsuits unchanged, the fact is that they will retire one day. The swimsuit is made of elastic material. When we start using it, it will gradually lose its elasticity with the use time.
In short, the more you wear the more elastic they will lose due to the continuous stretching of elastic parts.
We are usually used to throwing all our clothes into the washing machine, but putting the swimsuit into the washing machine is one way to destroy the elasticity of the swimsuit. The effect of rolling and the detergent used may cause your swimsuit to relax faster and lose its elasticity.
The dryer is convenient and helps us to speed up the drying of all clothes. But here we need to remind you that the heating during the use of the dryer may damage the elastic material and make it shrink.
Using the dryer on the swimsuit or putting the swimsuit into the washing machine may not cause the swimsuit to lose its elasticity immediately, but it will significantly shorten its life expectancy.
Please don't iron your swimsuit at any time. They don't need to. Ironing will destroy the spandex of the swimsuit fabric, making it inelastic.
Chlorine water in the swimming pool causes great damage to your swimsuit. For example, it will lead to the fading of the swimsuit, and the final elasticity may be damaged after repeated use.
Therefore, to avoid this situation, it is better to buy a chlorine-resistant swimsuit and check whether the swimsuit has a label indicating whether it can resist fading or chlorine.
Hanging a swimsuit on a hanger or rope is a way to make the swimsuit lose its elasticity and deformation. Doing so will cause the fabric to stretch (especially when gravity acts on those heavily soaked suspensions) whether on the shoulder strap or the entire suit.
Now you should know what methods you can take to take care of your beloved swimsuit carefully before next summer, and keep your swimsuit in the best condition.
