How to take care of your swimwear: Tips for longevity in UAE climate

Living in the UAE means endless sunshine, poolside lounging, and beach days – and your swimwear gets plenty of action. But with high temperatures, salty water, and chlorinated pools, your favorite bikinis and swimsuits need a little extra care to stay looking fresh and fabulous.

At IBIZILEÑA, we design our swimwear to be as durable as it is stylish – and with the right routine, you can keep your favorite pieces in top condition for seasons to come.

🌞 1. Rinse Immediately After Swimming

Whether you’ve been floating in a resort pool or swimming in the Arabian Gulf, it’s important to rinse your bikini with cool fresh water as soon as possible. Chlorine and saltwater can break down the elasticity of your swimwear over time.

🧴 2. Avoid Harsh Detergents

Skip the regular laundry soap – it’s too aggressive for delicate swimwear fabrics. Use a gentle hand wash detergent or even baby shampoo in lukewarm water. Let it soak for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

🧺 3. Don’t Wring It Out

Wringing or twisting swimwear can damage the fibers and distort its shape. Instead, gently press out the water with a towel and lay it flat to dry in the shade.

🔥 4. Keep Away from Heat

Avoid hanging your swimwear under direct sunlight or using a dryer. The intense UAE sun can cause colors to fade quickly, especially for bold prints and bright tones like our Tropical Blossom Bikini or Sunset Orange Bikini.

🧼 5. Rotate Your Bikinis

If you swim often, try not to wear the same bikini every day. Rotate between different styles to allow each one to recover its shape and elasticity.

💄 6. Be Careful with Lotions and Oils

Sunscreens, tanning oils, and body lotions can stain or break down swimwear fabrics. Let your products absorb fully before putting on your bikini – especially those in light or white colors.
