DO'S AND DON'TS
Caring For Your Swimwear And Bondi Shorts
We take our favourite swimmers and head for the beach when summer comes around. Let me show you how to take care of your favourite swimmers, so they last.
Our swimwear comes in a wide variety of styles and fabrics. Every piece is custom dyed and designed to get an original one-of-a-kind swimwear.
Let me show you the care instructions and the best way to care for your 2EROS swimwear.
WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SWIMWEAR
Rinse, Wash and Dry
Rinse immediately after use to wash out the chlorine & saltwater. Make sure it doesn’t stay wet for too long, otherwise the salt-water and chlorine will eat away at your beachwear and the metal pieces attached.
Cold water hand washes are recommended. This will reduce the chances of it shrinking and help retain the vibrancy of the swimwear.
Use a gentle detergent so that the fabric fibres aren’t damaged.
Wash your garments inside out and in a gentle setting if you’re using the washing machine. We’d also recommend placing your swimwear into a mesh washing bag to keep it protected even further.
For your peace of mind, we send one with every single order.
We’d also recommend naturally drying it in the shade.
WHAT NOT TO DO AND AVOID
Do Not Bleach, Dry-Clean, Tumble Dry, Iron or Soak
Bleaching causes discolouration and reduces the vibrancy of the colours. It also damages the elasticity of the fabrics.
Dry cleaning & tumble drying can cause shrinkage or colour fade. The high heat can damage the fabric fibres, resulting in the fabric breaking down quicker. I do not recommend ironing your swimwear. High heat non-steam irons can cause burns or leave unsightly shine marks. If you must, turn it inside out, use a steamer instead or iron on low with another fabric on top.
If you soak your swimwear in detergent for too long, the colours or prints can cause colour bleeding. Plus salt water and chlorine can eat away at the metal pieces on your beachwear.
NUMBER ONE, GOLDEN RULE!
Avoid Rough Surfaces, Hot Tubs and Jacuzzis
Our swimwear is made from knitted fabrics and is likely to get caught on rough surfaces like rocks, raw stone pavements, raw timber & concrete. Sit on your 2EROS towel or your cabana cushion. This will prevent pilling and abrasions, causing unsightly fluff. Once pilling occurs, it cannot be reversed. So try to avoid this from happening at all! Furthermore the heat and the chemicals used in hot tubs and jacuzzis are harmful to swimwear fabrics with elastane and will cause it to break down and over stretch.
