Care Instructions
How do I take care of my Swimwear?
CARING FOR YOUR SWIM
When Wearing
The Alter swimwear is suitable for saltwater and freshwater. To preserve longevity, avoid frequent use in chlorinated pools, spas, or saunas. Contact with rough surfaces or certain garments may cause pilling or snags. One Pieces can also be worn as bodysuits but be mindful that high friction can cause wear.
When Washing
Hand wash in cold water after each use. Occasionally use a mild, non-fragrant detergent. Rinse thoroughly to prevent fading. Do not Dry clean.
When Drying
Lay flat inside out in the shade. If hanging, wring out excess water first to maintain shape. Avoid direct sunlight, tumble drying and ironing.
When Storing
Store dry and clean. Fold and keep in a cool, dry place; do not hang.
