Fill a tub with cold water

Use a mild detergent designed for soft clothes or swimwear. Avoid harsh detergents, detergents, or softeners as they can damage the fabric.
Stir gently
Soak the bikini in water for about 10-15 minutes, then gently swirl it around. Do not pinch or twist the fabric, as that can damage the seams.
Rinse thoroughly

Squeeze the water out
Gently press the bikini into the towel and remove excess water. Do not twist or twist, as this can stretch the fabric.
Air dry
Lay the bikini on a drying towel or hang to air dry out of direct sunlight. Sun exposure can cause the colors to fade over time and damage the durability.
Washing machines (if needed)
Use a laundry bag
Place your bikini in a mesh laundry bag to protect it during laundry.
Choose a slow cycle
Use slow cycle cold water with minimal detergent.
Air Dry
Never dry a bikini, as the heat can damage the fabric. Always let the air dry as mentioned above.
