WASHING

To ensure a long life for your swimwear we recommend hand washing after each wear in cold water with mild detergent, then rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners that will weaken the elastane fibres in the fabric.

Do not wash or spin your swimwear in the washing machine as the StingRay accessory may be damaged.

DRYING

Leave to dry flat in the open air. The fabric contains rapiDRY technology which will minimise drying time. When dry, store in its pouch. Do not store it when wet or damp as it will crumple.

It’s always best to avoid direct contact with heat sources as they will weaken and damage the elastane fibres. Our swimwear is not suitable to tumble dry, iron or dry clean.

SUNSCREEN & OTHER HARMFUL AGENTS

Chlorine, salt water, lotions and oils are harmful to swimwear as over time they cause deterioration to the elastane fibres in the fabric. To ensure a long life for your swimwear and to maintain its shape and fit, try and minimise the contact time with these harmful agents by practising the following care guidelines.

Apply sun protection with care and ideally before you put on your swimwear, allowing some time for the lotions to be absorbed into the skin before you dress. When re-applying lotions, take extra care to avoid contact or staining, as residue from product can harm the elastane fibres in the fabric.

After swimming in chlorine or saltwater, rinse out your swimwear in cold water as soon as you can, removing any residue and leave it to dry naturally.

Over exposure to Jacuzzi and whirlpool massage jets can also damage your swimwear. The water pressure will weaken the elasticity, affecting the memory of the fabric, making it loose and shapeless over time.
