It is most important that you follow the care instructions on your swimsuit carefully.
Here are some additional guidelines to help prolong the life of your swimmer.
-
Hand wash in cool / warm water with mild detergent or liquid soap after each and every wear
-
Do not machine wash as this will stretch fabrics, dislodge underwires and compromise swimwear structure
-
Do not soak, bleach or use harsh detergents as colours may run or fade
-
Drip dry out of direct sunlight and do not tumble dry
-
Do not store when wet or damp as this may cause colours to run and accelerate deterioration
-
Avoid rough surfaces as it may pull and pill the delicate fabric
-
Sunlight, spas & chlorine may cause loss in brilliance of colour
-
Avoid chlorinated pools & spas as the chemicals & heat will destroy your lycra swimmers (see below for more on chlorine resistant swimmers)
Chlorine resistant swimmers are recommended for swim training, aqua aerobics, hydrotherapy or any regular use in chlorinated pools. Regular lycra swimmers are likely to deteriorate in chlorine and neither the manufacturers nor Carla Swimwear will replace a swimmer due to chlorine deterioration.
If you have purchased lycra swimmers and feel that you may need chlorine resistant swimmers, either call, email or return your swimmers to Carla Swimwear immediately in new, unworn condition and we may exchange them for one in the chlorine resistant range to the same value. Please see the 'Guarantee' section for returns information & procedures
