Shower first
For hygiene reasons, it is a good idea to shower before diving into the pool, but this has another advantage. Pool water often contains chlorine and other chemicals that are harmful to UV clothing. If you shower first, your swimsuit absorbs "regular" water, meaning the fabric can absorb fewer harmful substances from the pool water.
Rinse thoroughly
Always rinse your UV clothing with clean, cold water after swimming to prevent fabric degradation. If it is necessary to wash your UV clothing, always do so by hand. Fill the sink with cold water and add a little mild detergent. Gently wash your UV clothing and rinse it well with cold water. Do not soak your UV clothing. This is bad for the fibers and causes the garments to lose their elasticity. Do not wring out your UV clothing, as this weakens the elastic and affects the fit.
Drying
Do not leave your UV clothing wrapped in a towel or bath towel after use, otherwise, the chlorine will have more time to penetrate the fabric and your UV clothing may become moldy. It is best to let your UV clothing air dry in the shade after rinsing it. Never dry your swimsuits in direct sunlight or near a heater. Do not hang your UV clothing to dry on a metal hanger, as this can cause rust stains, and these stains will be impossible to remove. UV clothing should not be put in the dryer!
Discoloration
Despite the colorfastness of our UV clothing, it cannot be ruled out that discoloration may occur under certain conditions. High levels of chlorine, solar radiation, and salt content in the sea can damage your UV clothing and cause color changes. Some brands of sunscreen can also leave (yellow) stains on the fabric that you cannot remove. Therefore, apply sunscreen 20 minutes before putting on your swimsuit. If you need to reapply, try to avoid any contact with the fabric.
Rough surfaces and slides
Be careful with rough surfaces, such as concrete, floors, benches, and other rough materials, as these can cause snagging and wear. Slides are fun pool attractions, but they can wear out your UV clothing faster. Weak spots, pilling fabric, and/or holes are the result.
Sand
As with all swimwear, sand can sometimes get trapped in the fibers of the fabric. The density of the fabric can make it harder to remove dirt or sand, which can sometimes cause stains to remain. To remove stuck sand, gently run your fingernail over the fabric once it is dry.
