The Importance of Caring for Your WOMMO Swimwear

WOMMO swimwear is designed for durability, comfort, and modesty. With its high-performance fabric and thoughtful design, your swimwear is ready for any adventure—whether it’s a casual beach day or an active water sport. To make sure it stays fresh and functional for many swims to come, proper care is essential. Follow these tips to maintain the quality, elasticity, and vibrant colors of your WOMMO swimwear.

1. Washing Your WOMMO Swimwear

Proper washing is the foundation of keeping your swimwear in great condition. The fabric we use—80% Nylon and 20% Spandex—needs to be handled with care to maintain its stretch and chlorine resistance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Washing:

• Rinse Immediately After Use: After swimming, it’s important to rinse your swimwear with cold water as soon as possible. This helps remove saltwater, chlorine, sunscreen, or other chemicals that can degrade the fabric over time.

• Machine Wash Cold: Turn your swimwear inside out and place it in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from snagging. Wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent.

• Pro Tip: Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach as these can break down the elasticity and the chlorine-resistant qualities.

• Hand-Washing Option: For an even gentler wash, hand-wash your swimwear in cold water using a mild detergent. This method is especially recommended for long-term preservation.

2. Drying Your WOMMO Swimwear

Drying your swimwear properly is just as important as washing it. Improper drying methods can damage the fabric, reduce its stretch, and cause premature wear.

Tips for Drying:

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: After washing, gently press (don’t wring) the excess water out of your swimwear. Lay it flat on a towel to air dry in a shaded area. Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight as UV rays can cause color fading over time.

• Tumble Dry Low: If you prefer machine drying, use a low-heat setting and dry your swimwear with minimal agitation. Excessive heat can degrade the fabric and cause the elasticity to weaken over time.

• Pro Tip: A low tumble dry is okay, but avoid high heat at all costs.

3. Preventing Color Fading and Chlorine Damage

WOMMO swimwear is made from high-quality, chlorine-resistant fabric, but with a little extra care, you can keep those vibrant colors looking brand new for longer.

How to Protect Against Fading:

• Rinse After Every Swim: Chlorine and salt can be harsh on swimwear, so always rinse it out with fresh water after each use, even if you’re not washing it immediately.

• Limit Sun Exposure: If possible, dry your swimwear in the shade to prevent UV rays from breaking down the fabric and fading the colors.

• Rotate Your Swimwear: If you swim frequently, it’s a good idea to rotate between different swimsuits. This reduces the wear and tear on any single piece and helps maintain their color longer.

4. Long-Term Storage Tips for WOMMO Swimwear

Proper storage is key to extending the life of your swimwear during the off-season or between swims. Here’s how to store your swimwear so it stays fresh for your next adventure.

Best Practices for Storage:

• Clean and Dry Before Storing: Always wash and dry your swimwear thoroughly before storing it. Storing damp or dirty swimwear can lead to mildew, bad odors, and even fabric damage.

• Avoid Folding in Sharp Creases: Store your swimwear flat or loosely folded to avoid sharp creases that can stretch the fabric in odd ways.

• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Choose a cool, dry spot to store your swimwear. Avoid plastic bags or airtight containers, as they can trap moisture and cause mildew. Instead, store it in a breathable fabric pouch or drawer.

5. Key Care Instructions at a Glance

Here’s a quick look at the care instructions that will help preserve your WOMMO swimwear’s performance and style:

• Machine Wash Cold: Hand-wash is preferred for delicate care.

• Tumble Dry Low: Avoid high heat and direct sunlight.

• Do Not Bleach, Iron, or Dry Clean: Harsh chemicals and high heat will damage the fabric’s integrity.

• Rinse After Every Use: Prevent chlorine and saltwater buildup.
