When it comes time to wash your swim shorts, use cool water and a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the material and cause fading.
4. Use a gentle cycle
If your washing machine has a delicate or gentle cycle, use that to wash your swim shorts. This will help prevent any stretching, tearing, or snagging of the fabric.
5. Air dry
To dry your swim shorts, lay them flat or hang them up to air dry. Avoid using a dryer, as the heat can damage the material and cause shrinkage.
