6 Tips to Keep your Swimsuits Lasting Longer

How to Keep Your Kortni Jeane Swimsuits Looking Fresh All Summer (and Beyond!)

There’s nothing better than slipping into your favorite Kortni Jeane swimsuit for a day at the pool, beach, or backyard sprinkler party with the family. We design our suits to be high-quality, durable, and made to last through all your sun-soaked adventures. But even the best swimsuits need a little TLC! With proper care, your matching family swimwear can stay vibrant and fitting just right, season after season. Here’s how to keep your suits looking as good as new!

1. Rinse, Rinse, Rinse!

After every swim, give your swimsuit a good rinse in cool, fresh water. Chlorine, salt water, and even sweat can break down the fibers in your swimsuit over time, causing fading and loss of elasticity. The sooner you rinse, the better your suit will hold up! Even if you don’t have time to wash it immediately, a quick rinse can help protect the fabric.

2. Use Gentle Soap

Harsh detergents can be tough on swimsuit fabrics, so opt for a mild cleanser instead. Our Stain Stick Remover is perfect for tackling any sunscreen stains, dirt, or other messes that come with summer fun. Simply lather it on and wash gently to keep your suit looking fresh and clean!

3. Beware of Sunscreen with Light Colors

We love sunscreen—it’s a must for keeping your skin safe! But some formulas, especially those containing avobenzone, can stain light-colored swimsuits. To avoid discoloration, let sunscreen fully absorb before putting on your suit, or choose a formula that’s swimsuit-friendly.

4. Dry Flat

Hanging your swimsuit to dry might seem like a quick fix, but gravity can stretch out the fabric over time. Instead, lay your swimsuit flat on a clean towel in a shaded area. This helps maintain the shape and elasticity, keeping your suit fitting perfectly!

5. Avoid the Dryer

We know—it’s tempting to toss your swimsuit in the dryer for a quick dry, but heat is the enemy of swimsuit fabric! High temperatures can break down elasticity, leading to sagging and fading. Instead, air-dry your suit naturally for long-lasting wear.

6. Never Store a Wet or Damp Swimsuit

Heading home from the pool or beach? Never leave your swimsuit rolled up in a damp towel or plastic bag for too long. Trapped moisture can lead to mildew and funky odors, which can be tough to remove. Always lay it out to dry as soon as possible before storing it away.

Bonus Tip: Avoid Rough Surfaces

While our Kortni Jeane swimsuits are made from high-quality fabric designed to last, rough surfaces like pool decks, rocks, or even lounge chairs can cause pilling. Always sit on a towel or a smooth surface to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

Taking these simple steps will help keep your Kortni Jeane swimsuits in top shape for more than just one summer. Because nothing beats a suit that fits perfectly, feels amazing, and lasts through every cannonball, splash fight, and sandy adventure with your family!
