Taking care of your surf swimsuit is essential to ensure its longevity and performance. As surfers, we know that our bikinis can get dirty from sand, saltwater, sunscreen, and the worst of them all: surf wax. However, keeping it clean is a straightforward process. Here is how we recommend taking care of your swimsuits.
Daily Care
1) Rinse with fresh water after every session to remove any salt and sand residues.
2) Let it dry in the shade. Drying in the sun can cause color fade.
Removing Surf Wax and Stains
To Remove Surf Wax: Grab some coconut oil and rub it on the surf wax. This will soften the wax allowing it to be easily rubbed off.
Things We Do Not Recommend
- Machine washing. This can damage elastic and be damaging to delicate swimwear fabric.
- Putting on tanning oils that can stain the suit. We suggest putting oils and sunscreens on before changing into your bikini.
- Using bleach. This breaks down the fabric and can ruin the colors.
