Rinse it With Cold Water After Use
When you are done with your meet, you want to remove as much chlorine from the tech suit as you can, and the best way to do that is to rinse the suit with cold water. You should not use soap or shampoo, as these can damage the suit material and affect the compression.
You should never use a washing machine! Instead, we recommend filling a sink with cool water and dipping the suit in that, swishing the water around to remove the residue. You should not scrub the suit or anything that might damage the material.
Move the Suit in a Towel
If you are taking the suit home from a meet before it can air dry, wrap the suit in a towel and transport it that way. This will keep the water from dripping out. Do not wring the suit out or anything similar to try and get it to dry faster.
Air Dry
When you have rinsed the suit clean of chlorine and other dangerous materials, you should let the suit air dry. Do not hang the suit as you might a more typical type of suit, as the weight can pull down the suit and stretch it. Instead, lie the suit flat until it is dry to the touch.
