A Deganis bikini is not just a piece of clothing: it is an investment in quality, sustainability, and style. To preserve the beauty and performance of your swimwear over time, it is essential to know the appropriate care techniques that respect both premium fabrics and the environment.
Washing: The Art of Delicacy
The sustainable fabrics used by Deganis require a particular approach to keep their unique properties intact.
Hand Washing: The Best Choice
Hand washing is always the preferable solution for your bikinis:
- Immediate Rinse: After each use, rinse the swimsuit with cold water to remove chlorine, salt, and sand
- Cold Water: Always use cold water (maximum 86°F/30°C) to preserve fiber elasticity
- Gentle Soap: Choose eco-friendly detergents, free from bleach and fabric softeners
- Gentle Movement: Massage the fabric delicately without rubbing or twisting
Recommended Soaps:
- Natural Marseille soap
- Specific detergents for technical fabrics
- Gentle baby shampoo (in case of emergency)
Drying: Patience and Care
Proper drying is fundamental to preserve shape and color:
Never in the Dryer The heat from the dryer can irreversibly damage elastic fibers and vibrant colors.
Shade Drying
- Lay the bikini flat on a surface
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Choose a well-ventilated area
- Never hang by straps or ties
Perfect Shape Gently reshape the swimsuit while still damp to maintain original fit.
