Mutyne tips.

Swimwear is a delicate piece that requires special care to stay in perfect condition season after season. Discover the best practices for washing, drying, maintaining and extending the life of your swimsuit with Mutyne's advice.

1. Wash Your Swimsuit in the Machine? Never Without a Laundry Net!

Using a laundry net is essential to protect your swimsuit during machine cycles. Find out why this simple gesture can make all the difference:

• Preventing mechanical damage : During washing, swimwear is exposed to friction with other clothing, which can damage delicate fibers, elastics and seams. A washing net serves as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of snagging, deformation or tearing. For this, using a large-sized washing net will help extend the life of your swimsuit.

• Maintains shape and elasticity : Swimsuits, often made of spandex or elastane, can lose their shape without protection when swimming or washing. The laundry net helps preserve the original shape of the swimsuit, preventing it from stretching or twisting during the wash cycle.

• Garment longevity : By protecting your swimsuit with a washing net, you extend its lifespan. This allows you to avoid replacing it frequently.

2. Which Detergent Should You Choose to Preserve Your Swimsuit?

Choosing the right detergent is crucial to maintaining the beauty of your swimsuit, especially after swimming with sand, salt, sun, sunscreen or chlorine from the pool! Here's what you need to know:

• Avoid glycerin and Marseille soap : These ingredients can clog fabric fibers, dull colors, and distort textiles over time. Instead, opt for a mild detergent designed to preserve delicate materials.

• Choose an effective cold wash : To preserve the shape and color of your swimsuit fabric, the trick is to use a detergent that works effectively at low temperatures. This helps limit wear and maintain the brightness of the colors. Discover our range of ecological detergents .

3. Washing Program: Choose the Right Cycle for Your Swimsuit

To maximize the life of your swimsuit, the choice of washing program is essential:

• Delicate or wool program : Use the delicate, wool program, or choose to hand wash in cold water or at 30°C maximum. These cycles are gentle on the fibers and reduce the risk of deformation.

• Gentle spin or by hand: Rinse your swimsuit especially after swimming (chlorine) or the sea (sand, salt, sun). Set the spin to a maximum of 800 revolutions per minute to avoid damaging the elastic fibers of the swimsuit. Or let it dry flat.
