Micro Thong Swimwear

Bask in the sun wearing a micro thong swimwear to draw other people’s attention to your fit body. The only trouble with this kind of swimear is that some of these barely-there outfits cost more than what you expect a bundle of strings would. So you won’t burn a hole in your pocket for purchasing new micro swimsuits, you have to know how you can take care of the pieces you have. Here are just a few basic reminders on how to keep your swimwear clean and in shape.

Treat it

If you’ve just purchased a new set of string tops and knickers, preserve its elasticity and sheen by treating it with a simple solution of vinegar and cold water. Soak it for 30 minutes, rinse well, and then hang to dry. With this simple solution, you can also make the colors stay bright and vivid as well as prevent if from running.

Rinse well after a swim

Even if you’ve bought a set that’s made of chlorine-treated fabric, you should still rinse it after a few laps in the pool. Chlorine damages the elastic fibers and even makes the colors fade. The same goes for saltwater in beaches. Sunbathing right after coming out of the surf also poses danger to your bathing suit. Shower with fresh water to make your swimwear last longer.

Don’t use the washing machine

After using your bathing suit, it’s always advisable to wash it to get stains and other substances off. Though it may be tempting to just toss your string pieces into the washing machine, don’t. If you don’t want to have fuzzy and stretched out bikinis, avoid using the washing machine. If you must, then make use of a special laundry bag where you can place it in and dunk it in the machine using only the gentle cycle.

Wash by hand

Washing by hand is still the most favorable way to clean your bikinis. Since thongs and g-strings don’t have much fabric to them, these are easier and faster to wash. You’ll also save a lot on water and detergent since there are fewer or smaller surface areas that you need to clean.

Line dry or lay flat on a surface, avoiding exposure to sun

You should not put your swimming apparel in the dryer. Aside from coming out as a tangled mess, the heat in the dryer can make your swimsuit’s fabric all loose and damaged. What you should do is to hang the pieces on a line in a well ventilated area and let it drip or air-dry. Avoid hanging your beachwear under the direct sunlight as this may dry out the elastic fibers in the fabric.
