How to Care for Olive Green Youth Simply One-Piece Suits

Quick answer

To keep your olive green Youth Simply One-Piece looking its best, hand wash it in cold water with a mild detergent, avoid wringing, and lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Rinse immediately after use: Rinse the suit in cool, fresh water as soon as you leave the pool or beach. This removes chlorine, salt, and sand before they can set into the fibers. Don't let the suit sit wet in a bag for hours.
2. Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the suit and gently swish it for 2-3 minutes. Never scrub or rub the fabric. Machine washing can snag the lining and distort the straps.
3. Rinse thoroughly and press out water: Drain the soapy water and refill with cold water. Swish again until no soap remains. Then press the suit gently between clean towels to remove excess water—do not wring or twist. Twisting can break the elastic and stretch the leg openings.
4. Dry flat away from heat and sun: Lay the suit flat on a towel or drying rack in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Turn it occasionally so both sides dry evenly. Avoid radiators, dryers, and direct sunlight. Heat and UV rays are the main cause of fading olive green swimwear.
