How to Care for Your Franco Marine Swimwear
Luxury swimwear deserves proper care. Follow these simple steps to preserve the shape, colour, and fabric quality of your Franco Marine pieces season after season.
After Every Wear
- Rinse immediately in cold, clean water to remove salt, chlorine, and sunscreen
- Never leave your swimsuit sitting wet — rinse as soon as possible
Washing
- Hand wash only using a mild, pH-neutral detergent
- Gently squeeze — never wring, twist, or scrub
- Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the fabric and hardware
Drying
- Lay flat to dry in the shade — never in direct sunlight
- Direct sun causes fading and degrades elastane fibres over time
- Never tumble dry or hang by straps (this stretches them out)
Storing
- Store flat or loosely folded in a cool, dry place
- Avoid storing in plastic bags — allow the fabric to breathe
- Keep gold hardware pieces away from sharp objects to prevent scratching
Crochet & Lace Care
- Handle crochet details with extra care — avoid snagging on rough surfaces
- Do not iron or steam crochet sections
Sunscreen & Oils
- Apply sunscreen before putting on your swimsuit and allow it to absorb fully
- Oil-based products can break down elastane fibres over time
