Care for your Arloe

A little care goes a long way. Salt, chlorine, sun and sweat are hard on any fabric, and a few easy habits help your pieces stay soft and snug for longer. Washing gently also uses less water and energy.

Do

  • Rinse in cool, fresh water as soon as you can after swimming or training
  • Hand wash with a gentle soap or detergent
  • Press out the water, don't wring
  • Dry flat or hang in the shade

Please don't

  • Use bleach, fabric softener or harsh chemicals
  • Wash hot or tumble dry
  • Iron
  • Leave it wet and balled up in your bag
  • Let it rub on rough surfaces (pool edges, rocks, Velcro)
  • Leave sunscreen or oils sitting on the fabric
