Care and Wash instructions

How do I clean my lifeguard swimsuit or rashguard?
Rinse with fresh water after every use. Launder at least once per week with regular laundry detergent in warm water, using a normal wash and dry cycle. Do not use bleach, Woolite, fabric softener or dryer sheets. Do not hang dry. Drying with items that have Velcro (like our Men’s and Women’s shorts) can snag the fabric. Bundling your swimsuit in a towel will encourage mildew to grow within 24 hours, destroying your suit’s fabric.
How do I clean my moisture wicking lifeguard tech shirt?
Wash using only cold water, and turn the shirt inside out. Make sure that you launder your tech shirt at least once per week with regular laundry detergent or a special detergent formulated for technical wear. It is best to hang it out to dry as machine drying can damage the wicking and cooling properties of the fabric. You may tumble dry on low heat if necessary. Never dry clean, iron, steam press, bleach, or attempt to soften technical shirts. Bundling your shirt in a towel will encourage mildew to grow within 24 hours, destroying the fabric.
