Fabric Care & Maintenance Guide

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your gothic bikini set:

• Rinse Thoroughly: After each use in chlorinated or salt water, rinse immediately with fresh water to remove chemicals and minerals
• Hand Washing: Wash in cool water with mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid harsh bleach or enzyme-based cleaners that damage delicate lace
• Drying: Air dry flat or on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry location away from heat sources. Use acid-free tissue paper to help maintain shape
• Avoid: Machine washing, hot water, excessive wringing, and prolonged sun exposure
• Lace Care: The delicate lace detailing requires gentle handling; consider using a mesh laundry bag for added protection if needed
