To keep your bikini looking new, we recommend hand washing it in cold water with a mild detergent immediately after each use, especially after contact with salt water or chlorine. Avoid the washing machine and dryer: heat and mechanical agitation can damage elastic fibers and fade vibrant colors. Do not wring out the swimsuit — gently press it with a towel to remove excess water — and let it air dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight. Store it flat or rolled up without creases in a cool, dry place. With proper care, your Tortellini Bikini will maintain its shape, color, and fit for a long time.
