Here's the right way to wash your swimwear to keep your favorite bathing suits around for many summers

Can You Wash Swimsuits in a Washing Machine? For most swimsuits, washing by hand is best. If the whole point is to extend the life of your bathing suit, you'll want to avoid the wear and tear caused by a washing machine.

What Kind of Detergent Should You Use? Look for a mild detergent intended for delicates. Another safe bet is a detergent designed for fabrics with spandex.

How to Wash a Swimsuit - What You'll Need: Mild detergent and Clean white towel

Follow These Steps:

Fill your sink with cold water and one capful of mild detergent. Place the bathing suit in the water and gently swish it around the sudsy water. Avoid twisting or scrubbing the swimsuit.

Lift up the swimsuit and drain the sink. Thoroughly rinse the garment with clean, cool water.

Lightly press the suit to remove excess water, but avoid wringing it out, which can cause the suit to lose its shape.

Place the white towel on the floor, arrange the bathing suit on top, then roll the suit inside the towel.

Let the swimsuit dry in a well-ventilated spot that's out of the sun to prevent fading. Avoid hanging the swimsuit on a metal rod, which can leave a rust stain.
