Suits should be washed after each use. Leaving them wet in a sink or hanging on a drying rack leads to unwanted odour. Believe it or not, your body's natural oils can still wear down your swimwear even if you don't take a dip in the water. Of course, sometimes it's not always possible to wash your suit after each wear — especially if you're travelling. If this is the case, gently rinse it under cool water and lay it flat until you can properly wash it with soap. It's crucial to flat dry your suit because putting a wet suit on a hanger enables the chemicals and chlorine to accumulate at the bottom and decrease the quality. The weight of the water can also stretch the suit out of shape.
