What is the best way to clean a bathing suit?

rinse in cold water after swimming then soak in a bit of woolite once you’re home for 10 min or so, hang to dry.

I tend to let them soak for a while, with a little bit of detergent for hand wash.

The soap you use, is it actual soap or detergent? I always pack a small box of hand-wash detergent when going on holiday. Seems to work OK – but then I don’t hang on to holiday bathing suits for that long.
Regular ones for swimming, I rinse in water and put in laundry.

Hand wash it and air dry

just keep swimming, just keep swimming…

@ loser – good one

I think they do have some special soap for it. But if memory serves it was expensive back in ‘87.

Bri….if it’s lasted since ‘87 (bathingsuit and/or detergent) it must be good!! :)

Hehe. I will try and find out the soap name

I rinse them out with the soap I use while I shower. And then air dry. They last about a year—maybe more. And I buy several new ones at Costco for $20 each year.

I use “good” bathing suits in the lake—but try and stay out of chlorine.

First, do not pee in it while swimming.
