How to Care for Your Swimwear:
A Guide to Keeping Your Santai Swim Beautiful
Theres nothing like slipping into a perfectly fitted swimsuit and feeling confident by the pool, beach, or on a summer getaway. At Santai, we design swimwear to move with you, flatter your shape, and accompany you on countless adventures. To keep your pieces looking as fresh as the day you first wore them, a little mindful care goes a long way.
1. Rinse Immediately After Every Swim
Salt, chlorine, sunscreen, and body oils can all take a toll on swimwear fabrics over time. Rinse your swimsuit in cool, fresh water right after swimming to remove these residues. This simple step helps maintain color, elasticity, and the overall fit of your favorite Santai pieces.
2. Wash Gently by Hand
Hand washing is always the best approach. Use cool water and a mild detergent, avoiding bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh chemicals that can degrade the fibers. Gently press out the water - never wring or twist your swimwear, as this can stretch the fabric and damage the structure.
3. Mind Sunscreen and Oils
Sunscreen, tanning oils, and certain lotions can cause stains and fabric breakdown. To protect your swimwear, apply these products first and allow them to absorb fully before slipping into your swimsuit. Your swimwear will thank you.
4. Dry Flat and in Shade
Never tumble dry or iron your swimsuit. Lay it flat to dry in the shade to prevent fading, stretching, or distortion of the fabric. Avoid hanging by straps, which can cause the material to stretch unevenly.
5. Protect from Rough Surfaces
Sitting on textured pool edges, rocks, or rough decking can snag or pill the fabric. When relaxing, use a towel or beach blanket as a protective layer between your swimwear and hard surfaces.
6. Give Your Swimwear a Rest
Rotating your swimsuits gives the fibers time to recover their shape. Try to wait at least 24 hours between wearsthis small habit ensures your swimsuit keeps its premium fit over time.
A Gentle Reminder
Swimwear care doesnt have to feel like a chore. Think of it as part of the luxury experience - like savoring a morning coffee or enjoying a calm beach sunrise. A few mindful steps will allow your Santai Swim pieces to accompany you on endless summer memories.
