How to Care for Your Beachwear in Dubai
With its gorgeous beaches and year-round sunshine, Dubai is a dream destination for every beach lover. Whether you’re swimming in the Arabian Gulf or lounging by the pool, taking proper care of your beachwear is essential to keep it looking vibrant and lasting longer.
This guide will walk you through simple and effective ways to care for your favorite pieces — from pre-shower rituals to drying techniques. 💗
Pre-Shower: Protect Your Beachwear
Before heading to the beach or pool, take a quick pre-shower. 🚿
This small step helps protect your beachwear from chlorine and pool chemicals. When your swimsuit absorbs clean water first, it reduces the amount of chlorine or salt that can penetrate the fabric — keeping it soft and bright for longer.
Rinsing & Washing: Maintain the Quality
After each use, rinse your beachwear in cold water to remove salt, chlorine, and sunscreen.
For a deeper clean, hand wash it gently with mild soap — fill your sink with cold water, add a small amount of soap, and swirl it softly.
Avoid soaking for too long and never wring out your swimsuit, as this can damage the elastic and shape. Instead, press the water out gently. 💧
Drying: Preserve the Fabric
Let your beachwear air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. 🌤️
Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight or using a tumble dryer — both can fade colors and weaken the fabric.
Also, skip metal hangers, as they may leave rust stains.
Preventing Color Fading
Dubai’s strong sun, combined with saltwater and chlorine, can cause colors to fade.
Rinse your swimsuit in fresh water after every swim and apply sunscreen before putting it on to prevent stains.
Whenever reapplying sunscreen, try to do it away from your swimwear to avoid oily marks. 💗
Dealing with Rough Surfaces & Slides
Planning a day at the water park or sitting around concrete benches?
Use a towel underneath or wear an older swimsuit to protect the fabric.
Rough surfaces and slides can snag or tear delicate materials — so keep your favorite pieces for calmer beach or pool days.
Removing Trapped Sand
If sand gets trapped in the fabric, let your beachwear dry completely, then gently rub the dry surface with your fingertips or a soft brush to loosen the grains. This works well for most modern fabrics used in swimwear. 🏖️
