How to Remove Chlorine from Swimsuits Without Damaging the Fabric

Chlorine, sunscreen, sweat, and saltwater break down swimsuits quickly. If your swimwear fades, stretches, or holds onto odor, the problem is usually the detergent. Regular detergents cannot fully remove chlorine or sunscreen, which causes elastic fibers to weaken over time.

Why Regular Detergent Doesn’t Work for Swimwear
Chlorine binds to synthetic fibers and breaks down elasticity. Sunscreen leaves oily residue that clings to fabric. Sweat and bacteria get trapped inside stretchy material, creating permanent odor. Standard detergents aren’t designed to tackle these issues.

Why a Swim-Specific Detergent Helps
Lumehra Swim + Sport Laundry Tablets use a fragrance-free, PVA-free formula designed to remove chlorine, sunscreen, odor, and body oils without damaging the fabric. The gentle ingredients protect elasticity, color, and the overall lifespan of swimwear.

How to Properly Wash Swimsuits
Rinse swimsuits immediately after swimming to prevent chlorine damage. Use cold water to protect elasticity. Wash with a swim-safe detergent that lifts chlorine and sunscreen instead of pushing it deeper into fibers.
