Care Instructions

Take care of your Marcana Swimwear bikinis by carefully following our tips to keep them in good condition and make them last.

• Do not iron, bleach, wring, tumble dry, dry clean or machine wash.
• Hand wash with a mild detergent in cold water immediately after use, making sure all chlorine, salt and sand is cleansed from the fabric.
• Lay flat in the shade to drip dry. Do not leave your swimwear rolled up wet or in direct sunlight as this may cause the color to fade and damage the fabric.
• Store in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture from building within the fabric.
• Avoid contact with rough surfaces, for example: rocks, pebbles, stone, and concrete pool surfaces as this may cause balling of the fabric and loss of elasticity.
• Never stretch or pull your swimwear with force. 
• Extreme heat and high levels of chlorine may fade or damage your swimwear over time.  
• Take care when using sunscreen lotions, fake tans and tanning oils as they may stain or damage your swimwear.
• We recommend that you do not wear your swimwear in spa baths as it could cause damage to the fabric

SPECIAL CARE FOR DYED GARMENTS

• Wash Separately: wash your newly tie-dyed garments in separete load from your laundry for the first wash or two as they may release some color in the first washes.
• Release color: You might see that the water in your washer is colored. This is just the extra dye leaving the fabric and is totally normal, this colored water will not have any staining power. Dyes typically stop running completly after a few washes.
