To ensure a long life for your swimwear, it is essential to take care of them with great care. Here are some instructions to follow:

1. **Rinse your swimsuit in cold water immediately after swimming in salt or chlorinated water**. High chlorine environments, such as swimming pools or hot tubs, can damage the fabric and reduce its longevity. Note that hot water is not suitable for swimsuits. Avoid prolonged or frequent bathing in hot tubs, and consider having a swimsuit dedicated to this use.

2. **Prefer hand washing with a mild soap to preserve the quality of the fabric**. Absolutely avoid putting your swimsuit in the washing machine or soaking it. The dryer should also be avoided.

3. **When washing a new swimsuit, do it separately**. This will allow any excess dye to dissipate. Color bleeding is normal and will stop after a few washes.

4. **Be aware that certain substances, such as tanning lotions, oils, chlorine, etc., may cause discoloration**. This is not the result of a manufacturing defect.

5. **Avoid prolonged drying in the sun, as this can fade the color of your swimsuit**. After washing, gently press the swimsuit in a towel before letting it dry naturally.

6. **Rotate your swimsuits regularly**. Stretchy fabrics, like spandex, require more than 24 hours to return to their original shape. Having several jerseys allows everyone to get back into their correct shape.

7. **When sitting, use a sarong or towel to prevent rough surfaces from damaging the material**.

8. **If your swimsuit features accessories such as gold-plated hardware, leather details, crochet, macrame, or hand embroidery, treat them with extreme caution, especially when going out to the beach or the swimming pool**.

By following these meticulous tips, you will significantly extend the life of your precious swimwear, while maintaining their timeless beauty and elegance.
